[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why you are expecting them to help. Keep in mind larger picture, their relationship with extended family. Vacation is hard anywhere with kids.[/quote] But especially when there are a bunch of grown adults with their nose at the television 24/7; or in a book 24/7. It's an awful experience, because it is saying "we don't give a care if you are here or not", really. So why bother? [/quote] Yes, this is my experience with my in laws. They don't work, but don't help (see: stating they'd watch my toddler while I showered and I find her walking down the street alone, at night, in South America.) Their house is flat out dangerous, and they spend most of the time we are there sleeping, shopping, or watching TV. When I spend thousands on plane tickets, and have to cram five of us into one room for three weeks, it becomes completely not worth it. [/quote]
