[QUOTE="Star*, post: 123700, member: 4964"] Do your own thing - Get your own ride - Don't dump your toxic parents on 2 teenagers who are not looking forward to the Disney experience hoping that you can get some vacation time alone with husband - because those kids are going to be looking for babes, not grandma and grandpa - and it would make sense after the vacation was done - YOU would be blamed for "running" off and leaving THEM to baby sit grandma and a sickly grandpa. Get the bus from the airport - Meet them for dinner/lunch and tell the boys that it's up to them if THEY want to make the first move to spend more time with grams and gramps - and if not - then devise a plan at Disney so YOU and husband can have YOUR fun and the teens can have THEIR fun. That way NO pressure. Before you leave - IF you want to sacrifice another hour or two of your vacation - meet them for breakfast, board the bus and say good bye. Short periods of time spent with toxic people can alleviate a lot of stress. Not spending time with them at all - could cause some stress later on after your parents are gone - but don't make plans for the teens forcing them to spend time with people YOU don't want to. Have a family meeting and vote - and a clue word that your kids could say at dinner - if they want to get OUT of spending more time with your folks - give them an out. Hugs - sorry you had such a toxic childhood. Star [/QUOTE]
