[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's not about the money, and you really just want to join, what about saying/writing something like

"We were so excited to hear that you and niece/nephews were going to be able to visit Disney together. We have enjoyed it so much ourselves, and are thrilled niece and nephew will get to experience it, too. We were wondering if you would be okay with us joining you for a few days of the trip so we could all enjoy it together. We would take care of all of our own arrangements (as you know my parents live nearby) but would love to just coordinate some park time. Hope it works out!"[/quote]
NONO! Don't do this OP, do not do this. This makes it awkward. Maybe they just wanted a trip with just them. And wanting that is not a slight. Sometimes you don't want to be around everyone you are related to even though you still love them. If they thought of this as an entire clan gathering, everyone would have gotten the invite and would have been involved with planning the logistics. Trying to jump on board at this late date will just make things awkward and you will wind up with even more hurt feelings. If you want to plan a cousin trip, do that, but leave this alone. I'm telling you, you are not being slighted, you will have other chances to have your kids do things with their grandparents and cousins. Put down the tally sheet before you end up so bitter, the inlaws really will have a reason to distance themselves from you.[/quote]
