[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that your parents have been complaining to your uncle about you and he is bringing this up as a warning?[/quote]

Yes I’m sure that’s what’s happening but I guess I still see it as overstepping.  We complain about them too but it’s just venting.   What kind of warning would this be?   They’ve already invited us back and on a winter vacation with them (which I’m having second thoughts about).  [/quote]

I'd completely ignore the uncle's text, but take the sentiment a little bit to heart and figure out something nice to do for your parents that you think they will appreciate. Like, do the like the kids artwork? Have the kids do a special drawing/painting before they leave. Do they like some appliance or something you have but they won't buy for themselves? Get them one. Whatever. You know them best and if this summer visit is overall good it's worth it to go a little over the top to keep the relationship on steady footing.[/quote]
