[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you stay in a hotel near them? "Hey MIL, we're going to the water park in the morning. Would you like to join us at the diner for dinner?" "We are going to the children's museum after the nap and thought it would be fun to all go together" "Oh, you already planned on the art museum? DH will gladly join you while DS and I stop by the library"

Though, DH should do most of the talking...[/quote]

Where they live hotels are extremely expensive.  We would have to be about 30 minutes away for us to even get a basic hotel.  Plus, they would be really, deeply insulted.  We once did this when my SIL was married and their house was full.  MIL and FIL were really upset, but we of course, thought we were doing them a favor.  I had no idea it meant so much to them, but we didn't have any kids and thought that other people could use the house.  IF I stayed in a hotel with their grandchildren, that would really upset them.

I think they're very image conscious, so they really like NEED us to be there as a group.  But really, it's so unfair to the kids when they're forced into adult activities and made to feel as if they're boring everyone.[/quote]
