[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're in the right, but we can post here all day that we agree with you; that won't help you make the case with the stubborn sibling.

Would she listen to your parents or the sensible sibling on this? It sounds as if she is not going to listen to you. (I'm sorry if she has a bad case of "the single sibling should do what the married one wants" -- it's a nasty condition some siblings develop.)

I would let her know that the other sibling has agreed to the two-rooms-per-family arrangement for the parents with kids and that if the issue is that her kids can't get along or keep each other up, well, she and her husband can have one child sleep with them as others note. You have a right to sleep (if not sleep in, at least sleep restfully) on your vacation. But none of this will go over well coming from you, unfortunately. I would try to enlist the others to tell her she needs to deal with things.

[b]Sadly, if you get that room to yourself, I bet she makes the rest of the vacation a pain for you by dropping snarky comments and mentioning how tired she is all the time, or blaming her kids' crankiness on the fact that they had to sleep in the same room, etc. Smile and ignore her. She sounds just lovely[/b].[/quote]

I agree with this. But forewarned is forearmed. Smile, ignore, pour wine and go relax on the porch. [/quote]  Screw that - give it right back to her.  "Really?  I slept great.  So much space!"[/quote]
