[quote=Anonymous]First, you should have explained why you cared before they made the plans.  You had an out, you did not take it. I get why, but your brother may have been hoping ypu would be the bad guy.

Second, you call it a family vacation and seem to totally disregard that these people are family.  They are the other set of grandparents.   I sm not that into mixing families from both sides, but a lot of people are.

Whether or not it is unfair for them to come really depends on the family dynamic.  Does the SIL's family get to see the kids a lot already and this ws thier one chance?  Or does your brother tend to favor your family more and this may be your SIL way of evening it out?

I do understand why you are upset, as the dynamic will change, especially if the families become competive with the children ( my mom does this).  But as someone who is often expected to spend vacations with my in laws, and always get the crappiest room in the house, I can see why your SIL may trying to be making this more of a vacation for her.[/quote]
