[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It certainly feels more like a demand than an ask. Whose feathers are going to be so ruffled that you need to give up your planned vacation your leave time $2500 and visit a park you are not that interest in ? [b]It’s an invite.[/b] You have sufficient reasons to decline. [/quote] I agree it should be construed as an invite, regardless of what they said. OP has a choice. But she already said in her OP that she made that choice, to go. Which is a fine choice. Even if it is not ideal, it could be a very memorable trip for the kids, or even the whole family. Setting aside how the ILs worded it, I put myself in their shoes. They are celebrating a milestone birthday and retirement. Those are huge and they want to do something huge with family to celebrate/commemorate. It is a generous and kind thing to do to give them that.[/quote]
