[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, OP, I have limited time and money, and when I vacation, I really don't want to go with either extended family or friends. That is a lot of togetherness and accommodating other people.   I want to have the exact vacation that our immediate family wants, and then see other family and friends on our own turf for more limited time periods when we get back.[/quote]

OP here.  I understand what you're saying but the difference is that they don't have limited time and money.  They are retired, vacation frequently, and money is not an issue.  So that is part of the reason I feel hurt and rejected by their not wanting to vacation with us ever.  I think having family visit you for 5 days in which they don't want to leave the house and in which I am expected to cook and clean for them on top of taking care of my kids, only to get criticized that my housekeeping isn't up to their standards, is a lot of accommodating other people.[/quote]

Have you asked them directly why they don't want to do that? Told them you feel rejected? What did they say?

If you haven't done that, you really should. Then you'll know where you stand, whether there is a compromise to be made or if you should just let this idea go.[/quote]

In any case, I'm sorry OP. I feel for you. What you are describing sounds quiet lousy. I don't think there is anything out of the ordinary with your being disappointed by their behavior.
