[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think of how you’ll feel when your son or daughter or whatever in law hold these views of you. As they inevitably will.  Unless these are truly horrible people, suck it up.  Grow up.  [/quote]

NP. I think that OP should take a balanced approach and should try her best to stay engaged, kind and cheerful. But that doesn't mean she has to spend every second of every day nose-to-nose with her ILs.

As to your point, here's what: My adult children and their partners/spouses will never think I'm overbearing on vacation, because *I don't expect people to sit and chat and do everything together and never get any down time.* I think vacations are meant to be "do whatever you want." If someone doesn't show up for breakfast, I won't go around loudly asking "Where's Larla? Why isn't she eating with us? Is she feeling well? Did we do something wrong?" Etc., etc.

If you don't *act like an overbearing person,* you won't be treated/talked about like one. Wow! See how that works?[/quote]
