[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are always willing to pay for the airbnb--which they choose and can be cheapskates on--its by far the cheapest part of the trip compared to food/outings/rentals/air far. Then you get there and they expect all the kids to sleep on the living room floor and you and your DH to share a double bed.[/quote]

Ex in laws pulled this crap too. They paid for the shared house. We were responsible for plane tickets, food etc. The last time we went, my then husband and I were supposed to sleep in twin beds that were on opposite ends of the room that we would be sharing with BIL, his wife and their toddler. Very young kids had a bedroom with their parents but otherwise were supposed to sleep in chairs or on the floor on a screened in porch.  :lol: Never again. [/quote]

Yeah mine have a vacation house with a huge 2nd story bunk room. All of us adults are supposed to sleep in the twin bunks. It's like basic training in the military and someone is bound to snore. I hadn't slept in a twin bed since I was 10 and I don't like bunking with my BILs and SILs. And of course someone's kid is up at 6am. [/quote]

OMG I actually AM in the military and this set up sounds like an absolute nightmare. That is not a vacation, that's torture! I hate when I have to sleep in a tent or barracks with a dozen or more people (doesn't happen often for me at this stage of my career thank GOD), even though we're usually good about lights out/quiet times you just can't sleep well.[/quote]
