[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one else has suggested this, so I will. Why don't you hire a babysitter (or two) to watch the kids? Everyone who has kids can chip in and then everyone can relax.[/quote]

I like this idea.  Definitely need more than one person for this number of kids though.[/quote]

I think you can pick specific times to do this, but probably difficult/expensive to have them the entire vacation.

The relatives sound like an extremely annoying category of parent that equate a "vacation" as a 100% vacation from any and all responsibilities. The reality is that, once you have kids, you just can't do that. You are still "on".
I don't think these people are going to change, and it's all well and good for people to say "just worry about your kids" but in reality that's hard to do.
I'm a pretty laid-back non-helicopter parent, but this would drive me crazy. I think OP should seriously consider not participating in these large family get-togethers at the lake house until the kids are older. You are supposed to be having fun, and it seems like it would be hard to have fun under these circumstances.[/quote]
