[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't control other people.  Bend a little.

Get uo and have breakfast when you want.

Agree to meet  up in the early afternoon for a mutually agreeable activity.   Stop blaming your DIL! Why does your son escape your ire?[/quote]

So many good points. OP is very hung up on the idea that she paid. One of those people who controls others via money. No thanks. [/quote]
+1. So *kind* to give this *gift* and demand every moment of their time be filled as you prescribe. What a *vacation* for them. So relaxing. Do you not remember what it's like to have young children, OP? It's exhausting. You should be happy they can sleep in a little and roll a little slow in the mornings. I'll bet that your DIL recommended this place because you asked and/or you were too lazy to do the damn research yourself. She tried to make a suggestion that would fit your standards and you are hell bent on blaming her for the family schedule which is your son's fault. Good god. Writing this down for notes for my future self.[/quote]

Really?  I'm thinking that DIL picked a place that she and sonny boy could never afford on their own, and believes that she can operate as though this vacation is her due.[/quote]

Why are you laying this all at the feet of the DIL?

For all you know, OP **asked for suggestions,*** and even if “sonny body” didn’t physically send the link, he clearly co-signed the plan.

Oh, is getting kids ready in the morning and getting them down to breakfast only women’s work?

Nice worldview. [/quote]

+1. Another #boymom on the loose. Already warming up to have a sexist view that DIL should be in charge of everything, will be held responsible for all dynamics, and her perfect son is never to be criticized, questioned or blamed.[/quote]

Where are the men? Why is the OP mom complaining. Does her husband speak?

Why is the DIL at fault?

This is a classic case of women putting women into boxes. I see it all the time.

Kids look messy? Mother’s fault.

Kids need to carpool? Mother’s problem.

House not clean? Woman’s fault.

Husband hungry? Wife’s fault.

Kids not waking up early? DIL’s fault.

Open up your mind, OP.

You sound a bit controlling (it’s my money! I paid) and not able to just let people BE.

When I visit my MIL, I thank God she isn’t like this.
