[quote=Anonymous]OP said several pages ago what they decided to do. Initially she said she wasn't going to go at all. I'm guessing that didn't sit well with her DH so a couple pages later she said that the kids were going to go too afterall. Best outcome. Yes, I'm sure it won't be the vacation the couple envisioned but it's best for it to be this way, IMO. MIL showed herself to be petty and unreliable, so I'd assume she's no safe on her own with my kids. I wouldn't lift a finger, moving forward, to maintain that relationship. It's all on DH now.

And MIL can just enjoy her low responsibility life while her son and his family have a great vacation. Considering the significant costs with booking two more plane tickets and any possible loss for unused camps, I hope OP isn't paying MIL anything.

BTW, my husband and father of our two middle schoolers is 61. people are acting as if they read "MIL" and immediately envision frail, elderly person. Come on. She sounds like a lazy entitled person who isn't even legal retirement age who is counting on her son as her plan for care in aging. OP, you really should get a plan together to make sure you are prioritizing your children and their needs (college, etc.). [/quote]
