[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You stay with family to spend time with them, living with them for a short time. It is not like being in a hotel. I understand why your MIL is upset. If you want a nice vacation, go on one. If you want to spend time with relatives, stay with them.[/quote]

Why does one have to sleep at someone's house to spend time together? [/quote]

Because they are family. Because the MIL misses having her child wake up in her house and have breakfast, go to bed at night in her house etc. Family time.[/quote]

NP here. I think my MIL found DCUM. For the life of me, I can not understand the appeal of cramming everyone together in uncomfortable sleeping conditions that end up making everyone hostile just in the name of "family time." I prefer Family time to be a pleasant experience and that means having a little space.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, this is how my husband and I think. We try to please everyone but can't. We have made trips up there, made his dad's house our base, and have literally stayed from breakfast through dinner at MIL's tiny house to please her. I don't know how much more family time we can spend in a day with anyone. I can't help that we live 5 hours apart. [/quote]
