[quote=Anonymous]Ours was a bit more stressful than previous years, but mostly because it rained for the first half of the week. I actually really look forward to our beach week with in-laws every year, although my SIL's kids seem to be getting a bit brattier as they get older, and now that my kids are getting old enough to notice, it's getting harder to negotiate some of our parenting differences (plus, I really just can't stand the sound of shrieking 7 year olds). My SIL and BIL also tend to disappear a lot, leaving their attention-starved bratty kids to be taken care of by MIL/FIL or us, which got old quickly - particularly because both DH and I felt really bad about making MIL/FIL (who are great) take up all the slack. Once I hit a certain point though, I talked to my husband about how I needed some more time away from the brattiness, we started doing more things on our own, and I had a more pleasant time.[/quote]
