Is it really a vacation if you spend it with your in-laws?

Taking a vacation means something different to everyone. For some, it means kicking up your feet on the beach and never lifting a finger except to order another piña colada. For others, it means a day packed with adventure and fun, up to the gills in activity. Who you bring with you might also affect your trip. If it’s just you and a pal, it’s a completely different time than if the kids were coming, or if it was a big family trip with your in-laws. These are three vastly different types of trips. You might be in the mood for one kind of trip at a certain time and another at a different time. But if you were planning on a relaxing vacation full of family time, then suddenly having the plans change would be a real disruption. If you want to relax, then you probably don’t want people around you who you have to take care of. In this case, the woman in this story was willing to do that for her kids, but not her husband’s elderly parents. She wanted family bonding time with just her immediate family, and had been looking forward to it and saving for it for months. She had made a plan and wanted everyone to get on board with it. And she thought they had, until her husband revealed that he had been making different plans all along.
