[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws are wonderful and generous people, but being on vacation with them and my SIL isn't really a vacation. My SIL treats it like a vacation for her, sleeps in, goes to the beach, her kids absolutely trash the house to the point of not being able to sit anywhere, wake up at 5:00 am in the room right next to us (SIL is a floor above). MIL spends all of her time feeding the three little kids breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a dysfunction on both sides. It took a lot of gentle reminders for SIL to understand that our late teens aren't free babysitting for the week and that they ALSO deserve a vacation. We make it work, but I most certainly don't consider it super relaxing. If you talked to my MIL she'd probably tell you that everyone has the best time of their lives. We get the importance of being with family and we love them, don't get me wrong. But we usually need a vacation after our vacation to recover. [/quote]
