[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! Clearly my in laws have some like minded folks out there. I think the consequence of this will be we just go to see his folks when it works for us and not work our schedule around sibs. [/quote]

Hopefully, another consequence is that you will see that it's important to this family that you do what you said you were going to do. If you said you were going to stay until Sunday, stay until Sunday (barring actual emergencies; your reasons were about convenience which I understand, but you have to build that into the initial plan). Maybe next time, plan an earlier departure but be willing (privately, amongst yourselves) to stay longer if things are going well.[/quote]

Yes, as I said neither my husband nor I thought they’d be so mad and would likely have stayed if we had known. (And to be fair, it was only one parent and one sib who were mad-one parent and 2 sibs reacted in what to me seemed a normal way, very mild disappointment.) But the upshot likely will be less family time which I know isn’t what they want. [/quote]
