[quote=Anonymous]I would have more sympathy for your ILs if they had been willing to vacation with just your family. It will be important in the future for the siblings to be on good terms to deal with the inevitable challenges brought on by their parents aging. Nuture the relationship by accepting your SILs offer now. When his parents find out about the trip, your DH should just say matter-of-factly confirm that it is true and he was looking forward to it. Period. If they complain about being excluded, he should reply that he has repeatedly offered to vacation with them and they have refused. He should refuse to bring SIL into the discussion: “Larla is an adult with her own familiy and makes her own decisions. I will not tell her what to do with her family’s vacation time.” [/quote]
