[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Your grandmother, mother etc., are not the blood relatives of your SIL. I am sure she would want to spend time with her parents instead of all her ILs.

From your SIL's perspective, she wants to spend time with both her parents and her ILs.  This seems very healthy.

OP, are you a single mom?  I think your brother is trying his best to spend time with both sides of the families.

Right but do it at another time. Doesn't that make more sense?[/quote]

No, it does not. Not if the SIL does not want to spend time with just her ILs.  Vacation time is precious. Maybe SIL feels that she needs some downtime and having her parents will ensure that her kids will be looked after if she needs a nap.  You just do not know the dynamics of OPs family and her tone sounds very selfish.

If I was in the shoes of the SIL and had to spend my vacation with my DH's sister, sister's kid, DH's mother and DH's grandmother - I would shoot myself.

Furthermore, SILs parents are staying in a hotel.  That means that they are there to spend time with their grandchild, son-in-law, and daughter  -AND they are not piling on.

I am curious why the big need for OP to have only her family at the vacation. When kids are involved, I always feel that the more adults the better.  It is not a honeymoon, it is a family vacation with multiple generation.

I find the OP to be passive-aggressive towards the SIL and also the brother. [/quote]
