I hate this type of advice.

Maybe she wants to spend her vacation days with her children?

What’s stopping her? He takes PTO and takes the kids for vacation week 1. She takes PTO and takes the kids for vacation week 2. Then later in the year, they both take PTO and do a third week of vacation. [/quote]

So, your solution is that the kids never go on vacation with their parents as a family?

Seriously, the grandparents need to let go. When children grow up they get married and have children of their own. That is their new little family and they need time together - yes, they even need vacations together. Kids are only little for a little while. Then they grow up and the cycle begins again. Grandparent vacations are an occasional thing not something that you are entitled to. I can’t believe I have to spell this out for you! [/quote]

It must be hard being illiterate. You have my sympathies.[/quote]

In the wise words of Elsa; Let it go, Grandma. Let it go.

Time to accept that families do not want to plan their vacations around your schedule. Time to let go. You’ll enjoy your time with your family much more this way and  they will too. It’ll be okay, I promise.

I’m not a grandma. I’m the 35 yo mother of a 5 yo, who also would prefer not to burn a week of PTO to visit my in-laws. DH and I each take a (separate) week of PTO to separately visit our respective parents, with DS. Then we take an additional week as a family vacation, without grandparents. So DS gets three “vacations”, and we both get two. We both then have 2 weeks of PTO left over to cover sick days, school breaks, and take a long weekend, just the two of us.

OP could use the timeshare week as her DH’s separate week with the kids and his parents. Then she could take the kids to see her parents another week. And then she, DH, and the kids could take a week and go on a family vacation.

Your control issues and resentment of your own MIL must be clouding your reading and logical reasoning skills today, because your two previous posts are absolute gibberish. Maybe try to take a nap.
