That's funny. My DH said to let the complaining DH stay at the house if he felt so strongly about it. I was going to say that, but I am nicer than that.8) I like your idea...but I want my kids to take care of me one day!! :mrgreen:
Yes, that is what we do- take our travel trailer; it allows us to take pets with us, too, and gives us the privacy we want after visiting all day with the relatives. A place for quiet time for any of the children in the extended family, and a place for the teens to have their own card game at night when they get bored with adult socializing.It has been win-win for us
Send the in-laws to a hotel and relax in their house while they're gone. :mrgreen: I am so glad I don't have to deal with in-laws around the holidays anymore. Took me a LONG time but I finally realized that I was not REQUIRED to be around them just because it was a holiday. Holidays are a lot nicer now.
I have that same deal with a family member. For years, we would get together, but I finally put my foot down and said no more. Not worth the stress.
