[quote=Anonymous]I am wondering if I wrote this post in my sleep somehow.  My ILs do the same thing.  The last time we went to see them, they had planned out the worst, least toddler-friendly vacation I've ever endured in my life.  For instance, they became extremely upset that I refused to go to the Salton Sea with my toddler while pregnant and throwing up at strong smells (For those who don't know, Salton sea is a toxic, polluted hell hole that reeks of dead fish).  That was only one instance, everything else was just as bad.  Sushi restaurants for dinner, strenuous hikes with an 18 month old, hot springs where both kids and pregnant women are not allowed, etc.

That was the last time we will EVER go on vacation with them.  They refuse to let us plan anything, won't take any of our input, and plan stuff THEY would like.  They don't bother even thinking about their grandkids.

I know they mean well (probably just like your inlaws!), but honestly, just say no.  They were pretty mad the first time I said no (and yes, DH the people pleaser just said we could bear it for a week), but now it's so much easier that they KNOW we won't go.  And I did not bother explaining why.  I just said that it's easier for us to plan our own vacations now, and that they're welcome to come with us of course.   [/quote]
