[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would forward her message to your brother and say, 'It seems like [SIL] is upset.  Please understand that sis & I are staying at the hotel to make life easier for both of you - you are already doing so much by having us over for thanksgiving. Sorry for any misunderstandings. Please let me know how we can help out. Look forward to seeing you :)'[/quote]

She may come from a family where everyone bunked with each other and it was part of the whole holiday experience.  Different families have different traditions and melding them is not often smooth.[/quote]

This is my family...part of the fun is waking up together and having coffee and making breakfast or talking or playing games late into the night. It's the casual togetherness that we enjoy and it's the place where you find the unscripted/unmanaged moments that make such great memories, especially when young kids are involved. If my brother/SIL didn't want to do that, I'd be a little bummed out, but would understand that it doesn't work for them and wouldn't send a nasty email. It would make me mad though if they tried to say it was to spare me work because that wouldn't really be why they were doing it. [/quote]
