[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That vacation sounds like heaven to me. I really enjoy huge family gatherings. Instead my in laws would have us sitting in the house staring at us for a week with nothing to  do. [/quote]

I totally agree!  Both my parents and my in-laws are so sedentary and lazy and never want to do anything but sit around and eat and watch TV.  It drives me bonkers!  When my parents come to town, my sister and I try and try to come up with outings b/c we don't want to just sit around.  This sounds so fun, I would love it if my family or in-laws actually thought to plan trips and outings and have people over.  The grass is always greener, right??[/quote]OP here. I'm fine with outings. But, I'm not kidding when I say on the last trip that our days were booked from 9 a.m. until bedtime. For 6 days straight. We have enough of that the rest of the year. I'd like for my kids to have some opportunity for free play with the cousins.[/quote]

Jesus, OP! Are you an adult? Say no.  Make other plans. Peel off after a half day to do what it is you want (or do nothing).  Unless they are holding guns to your head, you have free will to say no. So, do so.  Quit being a whiny doormat.

And, your DH's behavior would absolutely NOT fly in our house.  He's going to pitch in or we wouldn't be going.[/quote]
