[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You MUST speak up!  You are in charge!  Do not budge!  Say child came home and said about vacation.  Said this is YOUR plan when he is older. Tell them not to get him excited about anything without your permission.  You do not need your husband’s approval to say this! Done!  Just think how tortured you would be while they are gone.  No is the answer.  
Who cares how excited child is? No, no and no!
It is your job to protect child and they have nothing to plan without your approval!  
If you want to take your child to show him your dream place, you do it and they do not have to come AMEN.  END  of discussion.!  You go, Mom! Your child, your plan. Speak up![/quote]

Wow.  No to this adversarial, horrible, approach.  Don’t say anything unless and until they come to you and ask to actually do it. Then just politely say, “that place holds the fondest memories for me, and I would like to be the person that shares it with DC first.  Thanks so much for your generous offer though.”[/quote]
