[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there is room for compromise?

It is not right if your sister to expect you to bunk with her kid. However, it reasonable for your sister to be able to enjoy her vacation as well. If the kids sharing a room isn't possible (which I think makes the most sense) then maybe you can offer one night, your parents another night or something like that? Or maybe have a cousins slbe party?

I'm sorry, but I don't see a compromise.  [b]A compromise is when both sides want something that has merit and they meet in the middle.  [i]The sister's want has no merit[/i][/b].  I get that she wants to have a "real" vacation and not deal with kids who aren't sleeping, be able to have sex and sleep in.  However, she has kids.

OP and her parents might offer that one morning they make breakfast for the kids and let the parents sleep in.  That would be a kind and familial gesture and only if they want to, they certainly have no obligation to do so.  After all, it's their vacation too.  To ask, demand or expect any more of OP is really ridiculous.[/quote][/quote]

+100. Well said. [/quote]
