[quote=Anonymous]To the pp taking about how the parents raised you, etc. you keep posting this on every thread that deals with parents. It’s a bunch of horse load.

Op, did your parents take your grandparents to every vacation? If so, how did they split the time between his parents and her parents? I’m sure they didn’t.

I would say to the parents something along the lines: because the kids are super busy, we are having a hard time spending time together just the four of us, or however many are in your family. We’re also short on pto this year, so we want to spend that little time to bond with the kids.

If they push back, say that you’d love be to have them, but you really need this time with your family alone.

If they still push back just say ‘I’m sorry’. It seems hard, especially when they don’t accept it. It’s easier once you do it.

If they give you the passive aggressive attitude, pretend nothing has happened and behave with them the same, visiting, phone calls, etc.

The fact that they live nearby and you see them frequently should make it easier. [/quote]
