[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you plan a low stakes long weekend with your parents? Rent a house near a beach or lake. With the understanding in your family that it'll be a slow, relaxed time with the grandparents. Books, board games, slow casual meals, kids swimming, etc.[/quote]
Yeah, I just am not interested in traveling anywhere with them. Like I said, they behaved terribly in ‘19, and I even gave them a second chance and it was worse. My husband especially works too hard to be tortured this way on his vacation days, and my kids don’t deserve it either. [/quote]

Well, there's your answer. Just tell them what you wrote here and deal with whatever fallout comes.[/quote]

My mom has acted horribly on past vacations by just making drama and getting upset about stupid stuff. I no longer invite her. My MIL has serious mobility issues. We just don't invite them and only mention our trips so they know where we'll be.  Sometimes it's a little weird, but I figure if they really wanted to travel with us, nothing is stopping them from arranging a vacation of their own and inviting us. [/quote]
