[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like to drink a lot when on "vacation" with my in laws.  I also only go for part of the time.  So if they go for a week, we only go for 3 days.  I am lobbying to stop going on vacation with them at all, but my DH is not on board just yet.  I'm working on him, it's a slow process to realize your family is just not any fun to be around...[/quote]

OP here.  I love this idea.  If only I drank.  I like to be "on" for the kids, so I don't want to be tired the next day.  I do appreciate the input about only going a few days.  With MIL, one is damned if they do, and damned if they don't - but DH still tries to please the IL's, even though DH is old enough to know better.  Sometimes I stay home, but then I miss my family, and frankly, would rather our vacations be together (the nuclear family, of course).  We would rent our own place, but then the issue is the IL's would ignore DH entirely all week, and DH would end up chasing them even more.  I would hate to drive one day each way for nothing (even though it is now, it is slightly less so.)

It is sad, but it is also hard for me to tell DH to stop.  The IL's are insular and odd, to say the least. Of course, DH is either in denial or just doesn't see it.  There is only so much I can do, so I was hoping to try to turn a negative into a positive.
