[quote=Anonymous][quote]They would never go with a long weekend idea. But I guess that would be their problem. The issue I am trying to get around, is that MIL checks with SILs for their desirable vacation date, based around their other (!!!) vacations, and contrived excuses. So [b]we get no say, because that is how MIL wants it.[/b] The place and date change every year, but are approximately the same.....

...SILs children became REALLY, REALLY angry at the suggestion of our children (corresponding genders) sharing a room with them; as MIL insists on putting our children together, in spite of the fact that they are DEFINITELY, and very obviously, [b]too old to have mixed gender rooms.[/b] [/quote]

I don't understand why you believe you have no say.  You do.  If the dates she wants don't work for you then don't go - or go for the portion that does work for you.  If your DH can't say no then he can go and your DC can go to the camps they want to go to.

I also don't understand why your mixed gender kids can't share a room.  You do realize that in most of the world, siblings share a room.  In fact, my 4 siblings and I shared a room until my brothers were in high school.  The only reason we got separate rooms after that was because we moved to a different house.  On vacations, though, we all shared one room or one tent.[/quote]
