[quote=Anonymous]SAY NO NOW. Because sometimes they do make it out of the group chat. Ask me how i know.

I had this happen a few years ago. DH was chatting to his brother one night and told him about our upcoming hiking trip to the Swiss Alps. His brother invited himself onto our trip, along with his entire family (wife and two toddlers). My husband opened his mouth about how we had rented a large apartment in Grindewald that slept 6, and we were staying there for 7 nights.  He wanted to join us and my husband said yes with asking me!I was livid, but at the same time, I didn't want to say too much because I've had my sister meet up with us on vacation too a few times and my husband never had a negative word to say. However this was an entire family joining us, not just one extra person like my sister.

His brother booked the plane tickets immediately. I guess they were looking for a summer family trip but kinda ran out of time to plan. This was only 3 weeks out that they booked.

They joined us for a week when we had the apartment, and I don't ever want to do this again. (also, the apartment only had one bathroom, despite it sleeping 6...) I wont go into too many details but my husband and I are active hikers which is why we booked the trip in the first place, and bil + family with young children, well, they can't keep up.  They didnt even pay their portion of hte apartment. We footed the whole bill. never flipping again!!

Disaster. Say no NOW.[/quote]
