[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adults choose who to invite on vacations. This isnt a family celebration. Adults understand this. [/quote]

OK Mr. Spock.

Do people really interact with their family this way? How sad.[/quote]
OP is talking about a one time vacation tailored to a specific activity that this other sister’s kids either can’t do or are not as proficient at as the rest of the group, not how her family handles the run of the mill beach vacation. Get a grip people, everything does not revolve around you.[/quote]

It's mean to exclude one family member who would want to come, but you deem "not a good fit". Not sure why this is such a hard concept to grasp.

OP should go with the older sister as planned initially. Simple.[/quote]
Because adults should always get what they want, others be damned? This is OPs ski vacation, not the annual family trip to the beach, and it is objectively reasonable to conclude that the family with a baby, a 4 year old, and 2 other kids under 10 who don’t ski as well as their cousins are not a good fit. Not sure why that concept is so hard to grasp. [/quote]

What if they are not a good fit for the family trip to the beach?[/quote]
You’re really going to these lengths to compare a skiing (a technical sport) trip to a week at the beach? [/quote]

But what if they want to go surfing? Or the big kids want to go on the big rides? Or they want to go biking on the boardwalk? You could do this all day.

Regardless it's beside the point because the question is not about "technical sports", it's about excluding one family member.[/quote]
