[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so much jealousy on this thread. I've noticed that nothing brings the meanies out on DCUM like a vacation home thread. [/quote] My parents have a lake cottage. DH’s parents pay for a beach rental and invite us every year. And DH and I man our nuclear family vacations, sometimes inviting extended family, sometimes not. I have never once expected certain weeks, or expected answers about dates/timing on my schedule. If I ever hear “no” or “I can’t answer that yet,” I accept those answers and don’t push. Sorry to thwart your theory. [/quote] Every family dynamic is different. This doesn't make you a superior person. It means your dynamic is different. Certain things really do require pre-planning: camp deposits, travel plans, and so forth do operate on an actual, concrete timetable. Do you have older children who are out of the house? Managing many childrens' schedules is different.[/quote]
