[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you should be arranging & paying for your own vacation home rentals - for just your immediate family. Stay near family if that happens to work. Otherwise- moochers have no right to complain - ever

You have no idea.  My friends all own their own vacation homes, with plenty of space.  We use their gorgeous houses any time we want.  Except those options are limited, because every year, without fail, the ILs rent a too-small house and invite too many people.  And every year, it sucks.  MIL thinks I am her personal dishwasher.  She also tends to yell at me for things I don't do.  She needs a scapegoat, and guess who that might be?  So, I refuse to go, because it is nothing short of painful.  But DH and the kids go, because otherwise, they would never see the ILs, who make no effort to see them, when they only live about ten minutes away.  So DH and the children drive eight hours every year, and eat up vacation time that DH does not have, only to be treated like second class citizens.  When instead, we could all be much happier together in our friends nicer, free beach houses, with people who actually act like they want us there.  What a concept.  Yeah, some ILs are arseholes.  If yours are not, learn to shut it and be grateful.

Not everyone is a moocher, PP.  Some of us try to to do the right thing, and still get treated like crap by really sick, dysfunctional people, with whom we happen to share DNA.  Don't act like its our fault, when the ILs piss poor behavior is completely unprompted, except by their own crap lives, that have nothing to do with us. Some ILs would had poor behavior well before their children married.  You sound very naive, ungrateful, or both - to not realize this. [/quote]
