[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your stepson should be gracious and kind and not talk about the trip a lot in front of your kids. He’s only there part-time so that shouldn’t be difficult. There is WIDE consensus here, OP, that your stepson’s grandparents should not feel obligated to take your kids or to curtail their tradition. Your kids are plenty old enough to ge this and you need to be firm and practical when explaining it. I bet they are picking up on your discomfiting and you need to get clear with yourself that the status quo is totally fine. [/quote] Unusually wide consensus! Also, as grandparents grow older, and the number of grandchildren increase, it is natural for things to change. My kids are grandkids #9 and #10 and are they getting the same as the older ones got? No. It just isn't feasible. If you think three extra kids for two weeks is NBD to older folks you are insane.[/quote]
