[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it wrong to assume on family trips that grandparents pay for they should include ALL grandchildren ( my two as well)? [/quote]

It's definitely wrong for you to think that any time grandparents get together with some of their grandchildren that it's a "family trip." Now, if they invited everyone but only paid for some, that's a different matter. But this is a trip with one set of grandchildren, not all of them.

You're in for a world of misery if you spend too much time comparing how the grandparents treat their sets of grandchildren. The kids are different ages (including a 6-month old--if grandparents think Disney is borderline a waste, they definitely would think it a waste for an infant!). The kids might be different genders. The kids might live at different distances from the grandparents. Some of the kids are children of their daughter, versus their son. One set of kids might have wealthier parents. One set of kids has other grandparents right by Disney! (Maybe inlaws might think it would be interfering to offer a trip to your parents' backyard?)

I don't know if you'll succeed in helping your kids have a better relationship with your inlaws than they currently have, but trying to squeeze your way into a trip they planned is definitely not the right way.[/quote]
