[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't know why people try traveling with extended family. I didn't got on a vacation with my folks after I turned 16. My MIL tried multiple times to get me and DH and two babies / toddlers to go on vacations with her, my idea of hell, and we never went. Never. [/quote]

How sad for you. The trips I was able to give my Mom, after I was grown, gave her experiences she had only dreamed of.

It made me so happy to spoil her, since she had been such a great parent.

And now that she is gone, I treasure those memories. [/quote]

Guessing PP wasn’t as lucky as you were to have a great parent/in law. If my parents had been great parents and were pleasant people, I’d love to travel w them. But they’re not, so I don’t.[/quote]

+1  Some people get lucky and get great parents, and those parents are delightful people as they age. Some people get people who are narcissists or bullies or alcoholic or addicted or abusive or neglectful and those parents continue those patterns as they age.  If you have great parents, STFU about telling people how to handle their difficult parents as adult children. You have no idea. [/quote]

+ infinity.  Thank you![/quote]
