[quote=Anonymous]this is why I insisted we rent a beach house alone, we specifically and clearly invite my MIL and FIL to stay with us but on our terms (they offer to pay for part of the cost of the rental, but we make the plans, they understand it's our trip and they're along fro the ride). Otherwise everything is a constant negotiation and people take advantage. The BIL and SIL who are half functional single adults get invited to come out, separately, for an evening, so that the family dramatic bullsh*t does not invade the beach house. We have too much stress as it is, this is our single 10 day downtime, and I just won't have it anymore. Set firm boundaries, let them think you're an a$$hole, and enjoy your family trip. I promise it is better that way. [/quote]
