[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited my ILs at the beach and it was lovely. DD had fun, DH was happy to see his parents and relax and I had a great time sleeping in because ILs taught DD to come find them when she woke up so we could rest. I fel quite lucky reading these posts - we always go to teh beach with ILs during the summer and I always love it, but they are the sweetest, least pushy people ever. [/quote]

This is what the righteous PP does not understand.  If you only have one week vacation, no matter how much money, do you really want to spend it with pleasant people or unpleasant people?  PP sounds like my MIL - trying to make difficult things nonexistent, and little things a production.  Way to spin!

We have our own plans and our own things to do, and very limited time.  In fact, we have ONE WEEK off! Don't make me the bad guy if I don't come with you to someplace we don't even like, without you asking if it works for us, when; or giving us one consideration you give your own daughters and their families.  After all, it's fine for the BIL's to not go (or to go for only two nights, before they can't take it anymore) - but if it's the DIL - then its a BFD.  Then, when your son arrives, all of the rooms have been taken.  Non family have their own rooms. MIL somehow expects DH and our grown children to sleep in one room - no, one bed (!!!!).  Really, are you kidding?  Why not say - "my daughters and I are going on vacation.  And I give a flying fork if you go.  In fact, I will give all of you one bed to prove it.  Because I am a bitter, nasty person who is only getting worse."  I would like to see the oppositional PP in this situation with these people.

So MIL, you can stop chiming in now, thank you.  Maybe instead read some books on how to be a decent MIL, grandmother, mother.....or person.
