[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just stick my ground about sharing a bigger house if you are going to do a big group vacation. You can candidly and kindly say “we liked spending time with everyone but found the house last year to be too crammed”. Just be direct. Don’t harp on recounting lack of contribution. That will turn it into a blame. Send it in s group message and see if anyone is interested, responds, picks up the project etc…

If no one does then just drop it and do your thing. Invite other friends. Don’t invite anyone at all. If in laws bring it up just say “no one responded to our message so se proceeded with other plans”. If they suggest m squeezing in together again just reiterate “like I said it was too crammed and we want kids to have their own room”. If they keep bringing it up they are being rude and awkward and you can ignore them.

Don’t be so afraid of it being a thing. Just be direct, reasonable and understanding, but also state your preferences and don’t budge on what your family prefers. [/quote]

I like this one. How I would handle. It's honest and direct. [/quote]
