[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think OP sounds mean.

The grandparents want the kids to visit.  The husband wants them to as well.  OP and her husband are both working full time.  OP has given no indication that she has anything "fun" planned for the kids for the last week of summer and hasn't mentioned their at all -- probably because the friends are off having fun.

The only reasons she gives are that the kids don't want to go, that it's a "hectic" week because it's the last week of summer. and that all the grandparents will do is take the kids to McDonald's.

These are petty excuses.  The truth is, she just plain doesn't want the kids to go for no real reason.  You have to wonder:  if OP and her husband wanted to go away for a week for their anniversary, would it be ok then if the kids stayed with the grandparents, ate at McDonald's, and were a little bored?  I think we all know the answer.  I also think that every poster on this thread who says "if the kids don't want to go, that settles it," would also come to a different conclusion if they needed the grandparents to babysit so the parents could go away.
