[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll also point out, OP, that likely this sister spent a lot of time and money doing whatever activities, showers, wedding plans, etc you had even if it wasn’t super convenient for her. She now wants to celebrate herself - super generously to you, I might add - and you aren’t willing to make any concessions. I mean, really, you won’t go on an allexpense paid trip to HAWAII? Your kids are not old enough to give two hoots if they “miss time with friends” this summer and even if they were that wouldn’t prioritize over this trip for me. [/quote]

My kids are two young, but there's a third sister with older kids and they will be the ones not wanting to miss time with friends and their activities.[/quote]

I can’t imagine ANY kid saying “jeeze I’d rather hang out with my friends while we’re all on our phones and talking to eachother on our phones even though we’re three feet away. And also spend 1-6 weeks at a camp where I am just one of dozens of other kids who’s parents want a break from us; have to share showers and bathrooms with multiple other strange kids, not see any family, be in a strict-ish enviornment—instead of going on a FREE [b]vacation[/b] to Hawaii or Europe!”

At quite literally [b]any[/b] age, I would have said “Screw camp, and I love all my friends but I can see them during the school year—I’m spending the summer in luxury!”

I honestly can’t tell if this is just a [i]verty[/i] subtle troll, or someone who is seriously dense enough to turn this kind of thing down. She’s literally going to hire two nannies and is offering to pay for [b]everything[/b]

If this is real, she’s an amazing sister and OP does [i]not[/i] deserve her. OP should be ashamed. [/quote]
