[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm one of the few who is strongly team DH on this one. My favorite memories of my childhood were packing it into one house over holiday breaks with  all my cousins and aunt and uncles and grandparents.  There is just a different level of family bonding that happens when you sleep under the same roof and hang out in pjs. No matter how late you stay or early you arrive, it's just not the same level of intimacy if you stay in a hotel.

I can say from my own experience, I had a lot of these overnight vacations with my paternal family and almost zero with my maternal family. My relationship with cousins I had sleepovers with is entirely different than the ones who I'd meet at grandma's for lunch at noon.

I think either you stay in the hotel by yourself or you suck it up and accept being less comfortable and inconvenienced for the sake of the family. Part of marriage is making this sort of compromise. [/quote]

Agreed. It would also be very different responses if it was the husband insisting on a hotel and the wife / kids missing out on family time. [/quote]
