[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]

WAIT--you're going on a vacation with your side of the family, and your MIL is also coming on this trip without her husband??? Is that correct?
If so, WHY is this happening?

I think it's fine for you to go spend some time with your husband whether it's a day trip or a walk or a bike ride. I can't believe posters are saying you're being rude because you see your husband all year. Well, you don't see your husband in these vacation places when you're both unplugged from work. That's different! If it's about your MIL being left behind with your family, then either she shouldn't go or she should bring her husband. [/quote]
