[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op what's the worst thing that can happen with not talking to him every day.  You will miss him.

Why are you so focused on what you want to the detriment of what they want.  Is it because you think it's only DIL that wants this or you don't want to be told what to do by DIL. You wouldn't mind if your son asked but you don't care enough to listen to your DIL.

Surely you are adult enough to be able to occupy your time for two weeks while they go away.  It's not forever.  How can this be so hard.  You sound enmeshed with your son if you can't be out of touch for two weeks.

Honestly best holiday for me was in Africa for two weeks with no cell reception,  bliss.  Let them enjoy their time away to unwind and relax.  You are being selfish,  it isn't all about you.  [/quote]

I never understood that mindset that if DIL asks something of MIL she must be controlling or it's not acceptable but then if son asks the very same thing it's ok my dear son anything for you. Either way it shouldn't matter who it comes from they are married and the same message is being relayed. I know this comes as a shock but DIL's feelings matter too. DIL is family so if this is coming solely from her why wouldn't her feelings matter as well? [/quote]

I agree with you, the  DILs feelings should matter.  However it's OP who has posted that she wants to hear it from her son,  which I find interesting.  Why,  why does the message have to be conveyed from him for her to believe it.  Speaks of major issues in these relationships.  [/quote]

Because DIL isn't her own person with her own thoughts and feelings she is simply an extension of her husband her MIL's son.[/quote]
