[quote=Anonymous]Grandma: so where is vacation? You: we are going to xyz, just us Grandma: why do you hate me?!?! You: We are going on vacation to spend time as a nuclear family, we do not hate you. Grandma: but if you loved me you’d want me there! You: We are going on vacation to spend time as a nuclear family, we do not hate you. Grandma: but it’s not faiiiir. You: I love you, I don’t want to argue with you, I’ll talk to you later, bye. The initial tantrum will be bad, 2 days later will be really really bad, and then she’ll start to adjust to your plan. Unless you are afraid she is going to show up in the same city as you and wander the streets looking for you, I wouldn’t lie about plans. That just punts the issue to next year. Saying “we are going to NYC” or “we are headed to the beach in Florida” is truthful without telling her the hotel name you are staying at.[/quote]
