[quote=Anonymous]Don't go. The energy you expend posting here you could spend going online to find a last-minute deal on a beach stay for just your own family. Do it. Now.

Why on earth do you feel obliged to go at all when it's a disaster? You know it will be. Stop thinking anything could be any different. Stop LETTING your husband become that "other person" when he's with the family. Nip it in the bud by not going.

Does your husband actually press for your family to do this masochistic "we MUST do the family vacation with everyone" dance?

Stop. Stop. Stop. You say you want a beach vacation and are somehow willing to put up with all this crap just to have some beach time. That's one messed-up priority. Stop exposing yourself and your kids to toxic relatives or your kids will grow up thinking this is how normal families behave. Tell your husband you're done and if HE wants to have the hell vacation with his relatives and turn into that other person, he can go alone.

Lots of "beach nightmare" posts all over DCUM this summer with one easy answer: Don't vacation with extended family, period. There is no moral obligation to do so![/quote]
