[quote=MikeL][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always feel more comfortable staying with my own family (and I think daughter kind of trumps son in that case).  I also get exhausted being around the real little guys.

I don't think it is a slight in any way.  If you generally get along with your in-laws, just accept that staying with their daughter was an easier, more relaxed choice.

Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and you are just a little disappointed.  I think that's normal.

I am going to say that you don't sound at all like a typical whack-a-do DCUM poster.  So enjoy the holidays![/quote]

OP here.  I agree with this but I do want to clarify that my husband has one brother so my SIL is not my inlaws daughter.  However I do think its just an easier more relaxing choice and that makes sense. [/quote]

As an “older” woman, I can relate.  OP, you will understand when you get older.  I don’t mean this as condescending in any way - I totally understand your disappointment.  But, as people get older and get in routines, [b]being in a house with 3 little ones can be disruptive to their usually calm, predictable lives.[/b]  I know.  I am there.  Be grateful that your inlaws still enjoying traveling away from home.  As people age, staying in the comfort of their own homes takes priority for some.  [/quote]
Quite true. My in-laws tried it a couple times with us when the kids were little, then chose to stay at a nearby hotel at night.
Worked out better for everyone. [/quote]
