[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op you are an awesome person with a great attitude. I bet everybody loves you. 
Maybe DH doesn't come the whole time or gets time alone - and a few extras for going along - you know...

Good for you - life is short!![/quote]

OP here, and thank you.  for those who are suggesting that my husband stay home, he would never do that.  He's all about "family", just on a smaller, more organized scale :)  We vacation with his family frequently (just did 8 days together in April... EIGHT DAYS!)  and it's a much smaller crowd who expects us all to move as one unit.  It's more regimented, which is hard for me, but I do it.

He wouldn't go to a hotel - He already worries he might a reputation in my family for being "uptight" because he isn't as "go with the flow" as we are.  Once we had one of my cousins come with his wife and 4 kids, and my cousin asked if he and his wife could take us (Husband and me) out to dinner and let their kids watch mine.  I was fine with it, but DH was not - too many kids home alone, etc... I got it, and we didn't go.  But he was very worried about coming across as an "a**hole" (his words, not mine) to my family.   When I explained it to my cousin, he was like "I get it, he wasn't raised in chaos, so let's get takeout".

I want to get a solution that he can be OK with.. thinking maybe 2/3 nights there and the rest with his Dad. I will miss some time (and some laughs for sure, because my family is FUN!), but this way we can hopefully all be happy.[/quote]
