[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is 75, and he is your parent. It does not sound as though he is abusive or that there are any extenuating circumstances. i would count your blessings and invite the grandparents to come. This is partially for them, so that they are not unhappy and feeling left out. But it is also for you, because if something does happen soon you will likely feel terrible about this whole incident. Next time, if you want time with your brother and his family, I would suggest you talk with your parents beforehand, giving them your explanation and context, so that they aren't surprised and feeling left out when a grandchild spreads the news. I wouldn't suggest this if it were just a friend who was feeling left out. It's your parent, and, presumably, they have done a lot for you. Time to go out of your way to help them feel included and good about their lives.[/quote]

You are right.  We handled it poorly in choosing not to tell them.  Do you have any advice in how to fix the current situation?  Should I appologize for not telling them about the vacation?[/quote]
