[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - the rest of the family is my family (parents, sibling, siblings kids).  She loves them all but loves us the most (obviously).  We don't have kids.

We live far apart so see her and FIL 3-4 times per year. 2 of the times we visit at their house and it's all about spending time with them.  DH and I are desperate for some couple time...hope to do a another trip soon but its not like we can jet off for a week regularly.

Based on previous comments it sounds like there's really no way to not invite her on a day trip but for shorter things (walk together etc) some of the suggestions are helpful[/quote]

[b]Honestly op, it seems really odd to take her on vacation with your family, and then expect her to hang out with your family while you have "couple time" with the guy you live with.  If you need couple time with your dh, schedule it, but not for the same time as this multi-family trip.  That just doesn't make sense. [/quote]

I have to agree with this- if the rest of the people involved are your family, who is she going to hang out with when you two are having couple time? If you want time just the two of you, then split the week up and go on the family vacation for 5 days and go somewhere else for the weekend with just your husband. But inviting your mil on your family vacation and then ditching her seems off.[/b][/quote]

+1000  I would tag along, too.  [/quote]
