[quote=Anonymous]Another thing to consider ~ if family have a hard time getting along - don't push it to the limit. How many days was this planned vacation going to be? Even among family members who get along well, my parents/family wouldn't expect to get along well (sharing accommodations) for more than 3 days. It's the 3 day rule (my Mom says it's the same as fish. Starts to smell after 3 days, something like that) With my husband's side of the family when we go to the beach, we rent our own house. And he's an only child! The other aunts/uncles/cousins share a huge house and resentment, hurt feelings build and fester. Get your Mother out of the role of "provider" Buy your own food. This isn't a reflection of her as a hostess. She needs to stop being "the hostess" Then, you don't have to be "the guest". As equals maybe the two of you can get along - for 3 days - only![/quote]
