[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Meant to say: what do you want OP to tell her son/DIL: “Well, an anonymous internet poster’s kids get up early, and early breakfast and activities sound great, so you should be that way, too?”[/quote]

No, my comment about my own kids at that age was just to point out that it is not unreasonable for a resort catering to families, that had a lot of activities planned, to hold breakfast up until 9 am.  Many kids are early risers.  This sounds like it isn't a resort where couples go to leisurely lounge around the beach or pool or spa.  It's a place with lots of family activities.  Rise and shine, get the kids doing things, kind of place.

The DIL comment is just to point out that OP didn't pick this place out thinking it'd be great for the family -- the mother of the kids picked it out!  The father of the kids agreed apparently so they knew they were going to a location where the point was to have a lot of activities to do.

Yeah gee maybe they picked it thinking they could sleep in for a change and then do some activities at your own pace! Who said “the point” was “to have a lot of activities to do”…you? Maybe son and DIL are content with just a few activities a day, and lots of relaxing and just taking a nice nature walk or whatever.

No one cares what your preferences and schedule are. They don’t factor in here. Clearly OP’s son and DIL don’t want to run on a strict clock on…wait for it…vacation.
