[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you were asked you should have replied exactly as you said here - that you were looking forward to a week of cousin time and a chance to visit with four generations of your own family.  You didn't voice your opinion so I'm afraid your brother is right, they did ask and you held your tongue.  What's done is done.[/quote]

Maybe if she had replied that she only wants her own family, SIL would have nixed the idea and stayed home with her kids.

Maybe, the SIL wanted to have a vacation with her own family but she was willing to accommodate her husband's side of the family - and this was the workaround that worked for the brother and SIL.

Once your sibling or offspring marries - their spouse comes first.  Everyone needs to remember that and be respectful and accomodating.  I think it was very nice of the brother and SIL to even ask OP's opinion.

What would the OP had said and done if her brother would have declined to come to the vacation because they had already made plans with his spouse's family?

OP, these occasions allow you to actually foster better relations with your extended family. Don't squander it.
