[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please.  As a kid, my cousins and I (ten of us to three different siblings, same grandparents) used to spend 10 days to 2 weeks together over school breaks because that's the only time we could get together.  The bright side of this, the 10 of us range from 52 - 66 and are still close today (as are our kids - there are even a couple of grandkids now).

OP, if YOU need a break, step out for a spa day, or have to race back early for work, or meet another friend for 2 days in the middle, but let your husband enjoy time with his brother and let the cousins become friends[/quote]

Is the relationship between your mom and her sister? Because those cousins tend to be closest imo… hanging out for a week.

Different story if it’s your BIL and his wife. [/quote]

My mom, her sister and her brother.  Between them, 10 kids (I am one of the 10).  The 10 kids are all married, and between them, 18 kids.  All know each other, all on family chat, all get together one holiday per year (even those coming from CA, NH, NY and GA), plus weddings - of the 18 kids, 3 are married, oldest are early 30s, youngest are early 20s, most inbetween).

We have stayed similarly piled into my husband's childhood home with his 2 siblings and our combined 7 children when they were young.  When I needed a break from his family, I went for long runs, took then young children to the local ES playground or drove to the zoo, or, went to our bedroom, shut the door, amd read a book.  I would never prevent DH from spending time with his brother and sister, or our kids from their cousins[/quote]
