[quote=Anonymous]Ok so our beach vacation hasn't even started yet.

1.  Ive been getting daily multiple texts from MIL for the past week about remember to bring this, that, the other.  Sheets and towels.  Dish soap.  Remember, they don't have beach chairs, what will I do about getting chairs?  And since they don't think our car is big enough, now she's strongly suggesting we rent a minivan.  I looked into it and it would be $1k for the week plus an airport pickup and dropoff, so no.  She can't get over that she thinks I'm cheap for not doing it.

2.  We rented a big house because DH's family LOOOOVES the beach and has so many great memories of it.  I get that.  But our kids are 1 and 4.  I'm not a beach person and in my mind the logistics outweigh the possible fun at this age.  Sandy diaper changes, sunscreen vigilance, nap needs, waves, walking over the hot sand carrying the baby and all our belongings.  Maybe I'm a grouch but I'm just not interested.  Oh and none of them could commit to any days they'd be at the house until just this week, when they're all coming for the whole time.[/quote]
