[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year or two my inlaws offer to pay for us all to go to the beach or something. We did it once a long time ago, but SIL (their daughter) has refused every time since. Now this year she wants our family (DH/her brother, me, 2 kids) to share a vacation home with her family of 5. I like them and am not opposed but its going to really hurt her parents feelings, and they are definitely not invited (per her). There is no way to keep it from them - we all live locally. It will be SOOOOOO awkard when they find out.

So the in laws offer the free trip but only if EVERYONE is in.  It only actually happened ONCE a long time ago and it was.so messed up in some way that SIL set a boundary never to do it again.  There's no tradition of all in family vacations with the grandparents here.  That only ever happened one time and it sucked so bad for SIL that she refuses to ever do it again.

So the actual family tradition of you want to call it that, is there are NOT family vacations including the grandparents.  Evidently grandparents won't treat your family if SIL doesn't come along.

I don't seem what your issue is OP.  Go split the house with your SIL.  Your SIL doesn't want to vacation with them, and they don't want to vacation with your family is SIL is not part of it.  I'm not seeing why your in-laws will have hurt feelings.if you go on vacation with SIL.  Your in laws don't even want.to.vacation with just your family anyway.
