[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you plan a low stakes long weekend with your parents? Rent a house near a beach or lake. With the understanding in your family that it'll be a slow, relaxed time with the grandparents. Books, board games, slow casual meals, kids swimming, etc.[/quote]
Yeah, I just am not interested in traveling anywhere with them. Like I said, they behaved terribly in ‘19, and I even gave them a second chance and it was worse. My husband especially works too hard to be tortured this way on his vacation days, and my kids don’t deserve it either. [/quote]

[b]Presumably they raised you, put a roof over your heads, clothed you, fed you and probably paid for college?[/b]

Plan a long weekend away with them.  Something low key.  Your husband doesn’t have to come. [/quote]

NP. Ther were a lot of things they didn't do, and that's true for every parent. This is equivalent to one of those things.

Children aren't justified in whining that they didn't get the most upgraded version of what they wanted. If you want to draw an equivalence, then of course nobody is always going to get the most star-spangled  version of what they want. Come on. A monthly local vacation within everyone's means and tolerances is something you say "thank you" for, not whine and stamp your feet about. [/quote]
