[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are married, with children. You have GOT to grow a spine. They are your parents, but you do not need to act as if you are a child. Tell them that you are vacationing with your nuclear family this year. They will be upset, but that is ok. That is not your problem to manage. If you have time and money to do so, plan a long weekend with them. Just be firm. Tell them the decision is made and you don’t want to talk about it anymore. You can do this![/quote] Absolutely this. Do you want to go through this year after year, OP? Because if you're not honest this year, you'll be on DCUM every year with your vacation dilemma. You can be vague about where you're going, but be clear that you and DH are vacationing with your kids. Period. If they're upset, that's on them. It's not your job to fix their hurt feelings. I understand it's hard, but your first responsibility is to your DH and kids. [/quote]
