[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone has to eat together all, the, time. Unfortunately, in my experience, grandparents often think you do and take it as a slight if you dare go to a restaurant without them because you’re all in the same place and absolutely [b]must eat with each other every day and caravan to restaurants.[/b] Just start the practice I’d saying we’re going here, leaving in a few minutes, if you’d like to pass on it today, that’s fine, we’ll catch you for lunch tomorrow. Or be slick snd make it a date night and say you’ll leave the grandkids with them and get them all take out before you go. 😉[/quote]

This made my stomach clench. The idea of all meals together. And if we're caravaning to the restaurant, they insist on mixing up everyone between the two cars every time instead of everyone staying in their own. [/quote]

God yes. So getting in cars becomes a prolonged negotiation and you have to move car seats because they stupidly told your toddler they can ride with them. Never again.[/quote]

Jesus.  You are just adamant about sucking the fun out of vacation for your parents and your kids huh

Riding in Grandpa's car is fun.  Let them have it[/quote]
