[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what if Its are mad? What are they going to do, cut everyone off and never see you again? SIL obviously has her reasons and you should not be creating drama between parents and their daughter since you haven't even said what the core issue is.[/quote]

SIL is free to manage her relationship with them however she likes. I reject your assertion that she also gets to manage my relationship with them. [/quote]

Your SIL isn't trying to manage your relationship with your ILs.  She is trying to establish a relationship with your family independent of the one with her parents.  You are making decisions on that relationship based on her decisions regarding her parents.  You are fanning the flames of family drama.  You are showing your disapproval of her choices - choices that have nothing to do with you - because you support your IL's position that you all should vacation together.  That's BS.

If your ILs are hurt by your SIL's choices, that is their hurt to manage, not yours.  If they have questions about why they weren't invited, they need to direct those questions to their DD.  It says a lot about them (and nothing good) that they won't vacation with you if your SIL doesn't go along.  It also doesn't say anything good about you that you won't vacation with your SIL without your ILs.  Again, you're fanning the flames of family drama and sabotaging your SIL. [/quote]
