[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like there's little chance they're really going "no screens" though, right?  I think it's fair for DH/DS to say to Mom, "I probably won't have time to call during the trip" etc. etc., but they're certainly going to be on phones to take photos, check reservation emails, book dinner reservations, etc.  Seems like H/S could offer to send a text once in a while to say hello while not having to spend vacation time talking to mom. If that's against the rules, then I guess I agree with some of the PPs that this is veering into controlling territory.[/quote]

Sorry wife the fact that you would like to completely unplug for 2 weeks I can't do because despite that you are my wife my mommy can't go 2 weeks without talking to me so therefore your wishes don't matter I have to check in with mommy because I can't detach from her and I have to cater to her wishes.

With people like MIL you give an inch and they take a mile. So in this case I can very well see it going as MIL shoots her son a text and then keeps texting him and son feels bad so he keeps responding and soon the convo keeps going so the screen free rule goes out the window hence that DIL wanted to be screen free. DIL probably knows how OP is so she said in her mind screw this we are just going to go completely screen free.[/quote]
