[quote=Anonymous]Is FIL driving there and then driving home? If he is flying and they won’t have a car there, I would say a hard no. No way do you want to be shuttling them around all weekend or risk them staying later to join your little family vacation. Will FIL get there the same time as you? Or meeting the next day which gives you another full day with her? If he will be there and has a car, then maaaaybe you could just deal with her for the drive but be very clear you have plans with other people so can’t hang out aside from the event. And then make some plans! Even if it’s just figuring out what you are going to do and then telling her you can’t hang out.

What about a compromise - she drives separately but caravan together and you can stop for lunch or whatever on the way? Then you don’t have to worry about her being all alone and lost, but still don’t have to sit in the car with her for hours and hours.

And, maybe you can call the hotel and ask to be in a room far from theirs? I have no idea if the front desk would keep that info private. Or switch to a hotel with a full suite, say you want to be able to have friends over after the kid is in bed? [/quote]
