[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it. We go skiing with a group of mixed ages and abilities all the time. Someone says "we're taking the kids up to Difficult Slope this morning. We'll join up with you at Easy Slope after lunch." And anyone not comfortable with Hard Slope says "ok, have fun! " [/quote]

And then you leave the four year old alone on the bunny slope? [/quote]

Huh? The 4 year old has two parents. Why would she need to be alone on the bunny slope?[/quote]
And then what about the other kids who are also under 10 but not at the same level as their cousins? I’m guessing OP, knowing her sister and the dynamics, believes that the other 2 kids will become the responsibility of the others in the group, and she doesn’t want that responsibility on her ski vacation, which is perfectly legitimate. The sister with the 4 kids should be self aware enough to know that her family isn’t a good fit for this trip and tell her sisters to enjoy themselves. It’s called maturity. [/quote]

We do this every year. Everyone breaks off into smaller groups and does the hills they're capable of. When my husband wants to do blacks, ds and I do our own thing or hang out with cousins. Then dh joins up with us again after a bit. Meanwhile, other members of the group are doing the same, sometimes together, sometimes separately. Never do all 12 of us stick together all day.

I suppose op doesn't think her sister and spouse are self sufficient enough for this arrangement? [/quote]
