[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not be comfortable with this either, though I can certainly see circumstances where this would work for other families. Ideally, you could have given a non committal answer like ‘we’ll see!’ and then talked with DH about how this is an absolute no. And then he can tell his mom no. Is DH’s family from that country? Or does his sister just live there? Either way, make it a family trip! We have been all over Europe with our young kids and I love it. One of the several reasons this wouldn’t fly in my family is because I would want to go too! [/quote] +1. I am someone who likes to maintain good relations. I would have said “Sounds like a fun idea. DH and I will discuss and get back to you.” And maybe propose some alternative “Our vacation and work leave plans are set for this summer, but next summer let’s all go together!” It’s still saying no, but softer.[/quote]
