[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its because it is so easy to blame the wife if something is wrong and if something is right, it is their loving son who did it.

For eg.  I many years ago organised and paid (joint funds with DH) for a holiday with my in-laws. They didn't have to pay a cent, just show up and enjoy.  I asked for ocean views but they put us in a garden view room.  My MIL tut tutted at me for trying to ruin their vacation.  Blamed me openly and criticised me.  DH did get us in another room and it was cleared up however I was blamed.

So I told DH that if he ever wanted to go on vacation with them again he could organise it.  He tried the following year but the resort wouldn't confirm an ocean view room, just like what happened with me, you can request it but it was not guaranteed.  After that he couldn't be bothered organising it and we have never been away with the in-laws again.  I did tell them that the room was not guaranteed however they just thought I was stupid.

Of course its my fault we haven't gone on vacation again.  Nothing to do with their son.[/quote]

Tell them their son was unable to secure an ocean view room and due to their disappointment last time you didn't want to upset them again. [/quote]
