[quote=Anonymous]20:15 I feel the same way. Vacation for us is our nuclear family, and no one else. In fact, we live so far from our family, that when we vacation, we intend to see them on visits. We don't see them the rest of the year, at all. No one "stays with each other", though of course we know we always could. But we deliberately vacation to see the close family (who reside far in proximity), not for social time with people we could see any time, just about. On the other side, MIL has a hard time understanding our perspective because 1.) she wants bragging rights about getting the family (however reluctantly, and even if most of us only go for two or three nights) together and 2.) she and FIL and the family did not enjoy their vacation time together, at all, while DH was growing up. It's one week at her rental, but the IL's (of the IL's) barely last two or three nights! [/quote]
