[quote=Anonymous]I didn't get from OP's post that she expects step-grandparents to take her kids along to Hawaii. She just said she isn't sure what to say to her kids when they express feeling jealous. OP, I've validate your kids' feelings (who wouldn't be a bit a jealous, it is natural!), then I'd just explain to your kids that this is a tradition in their family, and that they can't afford to bring along more kids. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether they like your kids or not. It is simply their family trip, and others aren't invited. If you don't act like it is a big deal, they won't think it is a big deal. Though they may feel some resentment (and think it is unfair) as teens, they will understand when they are older. [/quote]
