[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you take a weekend trip at some other time?  What have I missed here? [/quote]
Husband works every other weekend.

One of our weekends away was in June. (Now, that’s when MIL has planned the party.

Other weekend, he works.

July:

Trip with ILs
Our solo trips 
Weekend away
DH works

Then it’s August. We may or may not be able to make weekend trips work because of kid commitments.

There are four weekends a month. Go the other June weekend. Or go in May. Why do you need to go in summer if its over the weekend?[/quote]

Why should she have to move these weekends if they were already planned? Why can't MIL move hers?

Just tell her: We are already using half of our vacation time to vacation at XX with you this summer. These weekends are already spoken for for family time due to travel/kids schedules. So unfortunately, we can't make it. We hope to be able to do this some other time.

I mean this isn't a wedding or some big family reunion. She needs to get a grip.[/quote]
