[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they’ve already been for 2 weeks in July then probably not.[/quote]

Dh is saying they need to spend time at the in-laws home now since those two weeks in July took place at our home and also a family vacation to the outer banks. Doesn’t make any sense to me.[/quote]

There definitely is a difference in the grandparents being at your house with you guys around and the kids going to the grandparents themselves at their house.  [b]I treasured the time I spent alone at my grandparents as a kid.[/b]

Unless there's something else you aren't sharing, I'm not sure why you would prevent the kids from doing this.[/quote]

Even when you were 12 and 13?[/quote]
I’m a DP but at 12 and 13 I absolutely would have stayed with my maternal grandparents for a week and loved it. They were “young” grandparents (just about 60 when I was 12 and 13) and they were so much fun. They had a pool, we did night swimming, late night bacon and eggs, went to the movies, etc. My paternal grandparents were older and there would have been very little to do at their house for a week. I still loved them but a week straight at their house would have been so boring at that age. [/quote]

Yeah, my in-laws do none of these things. They do go to McDonald’s though![/quote]

See, and this is why I call BS on the OP.  Let’s be honest:  what 12 or 13 year old wouldn’t want to be at a place where they can just sit on the butts and do what they please and be treated to McDonald’s?   NONE.  That’s what every kid that age would want to do if they had the chance.  It’s not the kids who don’t want to go - it’s OP who doesn’t want them to go.  Shrew.

Be honest, OP:  have you expressed any annoyance about your in laws to your husband in front of your kids?  What do you think they think your feelings about your in laws are?[/quote]

So have you started on meds yet for your anger issues? If not, it’s time.
