[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of the posters are overreacting with their responses. I get it OP. This is a special trip for your daughter and your nuclear family. The request by your brother was sudden and had not been anticipated or planned for. If he only expects to get together for a day, it’s not an unreasonable request. It would be great if you can find a way to make it work or to stay an extra day. If he is expecting a big change of plans to accommodate him, then it is okay to say it won’t work this time. 
I have a SIL that lives in Europe and I totally get that not every trip is meant to involve extended family. It really depends on how reasonable the expectations are for getting together. [/quote]

You’re flat wrong.  What’s there to “get”?  OP made clear from the outset that her brother was not planning on taking over her trip - then immediately bash her nephews and complained about cutting into shopping.  It’s pathetic.

If you need a refresher, this is exactly what she said:

He has offered to meet us at one of our stops but to be honest I’m not sure it’s a good idea. My younger nephews are great kids but really rambunctious and I can’t see them doing well at the museums and shopping we have planned.[/quote]
