[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hot take, but I don’t think anyone is required to deal with retired parents who make travel with their working adult children difficult, and especially when they cause fights and dissension. Learn to behave or get left behind. This has to do with anyone of any age, family or not. People should know their limitations and accept them, or expect to be excluded. [/quote]

So your advice is to just ignore the parents and sneak out of town? Not sure how that helps OP who has a relationship with her parents that she chooses to deal with on a regular basis.[/quote]

Op is trying to work with difficult people who clearly have manipulated her her whole life. It is stunning that an adult can't speak up to their parents. I assume op is at least in her 30s and she can't successfully say no to them. [/quote]

I think you assume a lot. OP has an active relationship and sees them often. But they don't vacation well together. It's stunning that you decided she has been "manipulated her whole life!?!"[/quote]
