[quote=Anonymous]I don't know enough to do a "diagnosis" but really it doesn't matter. If you go, you MUST stay in a hotel. You MUST be in control of your environment, so you can leave when you want, and be able to relax and not worry about your kids. I think some PPs had some great suggestions on how to talk to your MIL, but bottom line is, it's better to get it done--get yourself to the hotel--and less important on HOW you make that happen. So if you have to lie through your teeth to make that hotel happen, do it. Say you've got some sort of sleeping disorder and must stay in a hotel; say you've developed an allergy to ___ (cats, if they have a cat and you don't)…say you have a back injury and the hotel has a special bed…or they have a whirlpool and you need that…say your kid is waking up at night and it wakes everyone up so you want to be in a hotel…say you're sick…find the lie that works for you and get the hell out of that house![/quote]
