[quote=Anonymous]15:37 poster again ~ ways it might work Really think about what you want/don't like about staying with the ILs. Anticipate and know some solutions. You should never have, "oh, but they insist on ____." to factor into anything. If you adopt that approach - your fault. You don't need to. When we did vacation with ILs, I worked this out. I had time to myself, each morning, from early morning till noon. DH took the kids. I had zero responsibilities till noon. No asking where I'm going or when I'm coming back. I got up when I wanted and left. Meals were something we had to discuss. It was unimportant to DH and I that we have a sit-down meal. We wanted to be on the beach, especially between 4 - 8pm. Problem is: when someone else is paying for it, there is a natural tendency to "be their guest" and adapt to what they want. That's why you may need to pay for yourselves. Pay equally to be treated as equals.[/quote]
