[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Being together is rather the point of a family vacation[/quote]

OP, also you need to accept that your barometer of "enough" time together may very well be different than theirs. Both parties liekly want things to go well. But they may know in their bones that x hours of togetherness is the right amount, and not y. More and they aren't at their best. Again, you can not and should not impose your will.

You aren't in charge. The sooner you accept that the better.[/quote]

I am not interested in imposing my will. But I do think rushed breakfasts and missing out while we’re treating is tough to take. I won’t say anything,[b] because apparently only their desires and expectations matter. [/b]But I’ll keep my mouth shut. It was DIL’s idea to go here so next year if I’m paying, I’m selecting location at least. [/quote]

Holy smokes.

This was on page 2.  Can't wait to see what other gems the OP posts after this.

OP, if you're wondering, your passive aggressive tendencies may be a reason that they don't want to spend more time with you.  But I'm betting there are other reasons, too.  [/quote]

Agree that OP is insufferable.  I am glad OP is not my MIL.  So by you spending money on our behalf, we then are obligated to your whim for you to dictate how I spend my vacation time. NO THANK YOU!

OP is arrogant and ignorant. Like other posts have said, your idea of spending time together on vacation doesn’t equate their idea of a good vacation.  In fact you are already making this a terrible trip by complaining that they sleep in until 8:40am instead of getting up at 8am.  These poor young parents have had a tough year.  Let them sleep in.  So what they miss breakfast.  They are probably happy to just grab something on the go.  Why do you all have to be joined at the hips?  Let go helicopter mom. You can keep your money. [/quote]
