[quote=Anonymous]I would bet a million that OPs in laws called DH letting him know that they were planning a big family reunion this summer and renting a house. He probably responded that his family couldn’t go because of the Florida vacation using all the PTO. They probably pushed and he tried saying he couldn’t cancel because it’s your birthday so they then said they’ll do it the week of your birthday and it will be a big surprise party for you. He had then run out of steam saying no to them and gave in.

This is the type of classic obnoxious behavior that pushy relatives do. In their mind, they don’t hear no. They hear you really want to do it their way but there is a problem in the way. It’s their job to help find solutions to help get you to yes.

OP stand your ground. The PTO thing is perfect at alleviating any guilt your DH May have because it’s not as if you could have gone anyway if it was a different date. My guess is that SIL is lying anyway about buying tickets. This is another textbook move to not accept no.

You and your family should go enjoy your vacation and they can all enjoy West Virginia together. [/quote]
