[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a shame.  The parents should allow the siblings to socialize together.

Could you offer to do a long weekend with the parents another time?[/quote]

OP here. We are willing to travel with the inlaws [b]but they don't want to do it if everyone can't go.[/b] [/quote]

Well, that says a lot about why your SIL doesn't want to go with them.  If parents were actually interested in spending time with family and not controlling & manipulating them, they'd go with your family.[/quote]

Thanks for your opinion. However, these are my inlaws and I have to see them frequently for the next 10-20 years. They are my husband's parents and unlike many on this site I actually care about their feelings. They are not bad people - they don't try to be so anxious they just are. They are kind and loving grandparents. SIL is an adult and of course does not have to travel with them if she does not want to, but this seems unneccessarily hurtful. [/quote]

Then don't go. But you can't invite them on SIL's trip. And FWIW, I agree with the above poster that your in-laws are being ridiculous if they aren't willing to travel with just your family. And honestly, they're ridiculous to get upset if their children do something without them. [/quote]
