[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how many of you MIL supporting posters would be cool with Muslim inlaws surprise signing up their Jewish grandkids for a week of Koran camp at a time when it will hugely impact their parents to find other arrangements. [/quote]

I'd write it off to some education about cultural heritage. I am with my kids the entire rest of the year.  They aren't going to be Muslim or Jewish or Christian just because they had a week of Koran camp.

I'd brief my kids ahead of time that they were going to camp at Grandma's church/temple/mosque and they would get learn about Grandma's religion. I'd make sure they know that Grandma believes differently than we believe, but the people at her church/temple/mosque are nice people anyway.  Then I would go on my anniversary trip and have a great time. When I got back, I would make sure that I talked to the kids about what they learned and camp and debriefed them on any nastiness.

After that there would be no more summer stays at Grandma's house, ever again. Never. Because she is being fucking obnoxious and she knows it.  I wouldn't even throw down with her over it. It just would never, ever happen again.  "I am so sorry. The kids can't visit this summer. They're signed up for 6 weeks of Jewish overnight camp, and we are SO busy the rest of the summer. Maybe we can all visit in the fall. " Rinse, lather, repeat. [/quote]
