[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you going?  :D

Also, I can’t lie well so I’d tell the truth but not give a lot of details. So if I was going to Disney I might just say “oh we’re thinking of going to florida.” If they ask if you’ve planned it yet you could just say “we’re working on it” (even if you booked it long ago I’m sure there are some aspects you’re still planning so this isnt really a lie) Be vague.[b] If being vague doesn’t work for them and they keep pressing you, I think you need to be very honest about it w them so they understand. “[/b]We really love the opportunity to vacation w just our nuclear family. We love spending time with you but when it comes to vacation, we really just want it to be the 4 of us (or however many of you there are). We would love to arrange another time this summer that we can see you, though (if they’re not local) would you like to come visit us xyz dates?”[/quote]

Didn’t you read the first post? These are not people who will understand. They throw fits when they’re told that just the nuclear family is going. They can’t handle Op and spouse being vague because it doesn’t get them what they really want: to know exactly where OP is going so they can figure out how to go there as well.

You’re applying rational thinking to people who are downright rude. The response that an earlier post said about explaining why OP is purposely not sharing was the best answer. [/quote]
