[quote=Anonymous]My husband doesn't have the greatest time visiting my family, so sometimes I go without him. When we're all there for at least a week or more, DH & I go out of town for a day or two to get our own time and feel like at least some of the vacay is actually relaxing for him. I enjoy some of the time with my ILs but not all, but visits are so infrequent (they're on the other side of the world) that I can't just not go and I wouldn't want to leave my kids there without me due to safety concerns. We do a lot of family activities but try to get out of my IL's house as much as possible where there are fewer power struggles, less smoking and drinking, etc. We also do a few mini-trips within the visit so we can get a little vacation time to ourselves. I guess that's our common tactic when visiting either side of the family - we build in little breaks for ourselves so it's not just 7-10 days straight of being cooped up with the same people.
