[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We are [b]entitled[/b] to one small bedroom. There are 2 other bedrooms, but they will be occupied by the 2 couples paying for the house. We are not paying - I figured we would end up paying for a grocery run.[/quote]

You wouldn't be "entitled" to anything. You are being graciously [b]offered[/b] something.[/quote]

Bingo.  Op, you sound a little bit like an entitled brat.  Sorry. I hope you aren't...a brat.[/quote]

Op here. The word entitled was in response to a question worded "how many rooms are you entitled to".

I'm actually surprised how this post blew up. It has been the other posters calling MIL selfish or cheap. I have said NO such thing. I am concerned about the logistics. MIL does have a tendency to not think things through fully, especially with regards to the kids. She forgets we have them when she plans things. In regards to this entire situation, I do not think she is rude at all. I think she booked the house and invited us as an after thought. Which is a completely valid thing to do. I asked here for tips on making this work or whether we should back out. We have never taken a trip like this and clearly many of you have, and have opinions on how to or if we should make it work.

I appreciate the feedback, and as I stated previously, we will play it by ear and find a way to make it work. I don't see how that makes me the bad guy. Yes, i would rather larger accommodations. Who wouldn't? [/quote]

OP, thanks for coming back to this hothouse of insanity to add this very reasonable, rational post.  You'll be fine, it will be crowded but you'll have fun...and maybe next year the house will be bigger![/quote]
