[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 596643, member: 1721"] I liked the tone of the letter. The parts I left in seem a little harsh to me. Unless you need to establish firm boundaries, maybe you could say the same things more gently? #1 How about something like: husband and I both feel this would be best. #2 Maybe: We think this will be the best way to be sure we can all enjoy the wonderful vacation that's been planned. #3 How about: Though we have decided to stay on our own, we're planning some outings everyone will be invited to, and we'll be attending as many family outings as we can, too. #4 Given the upcoming move and all the additional stress husband and I have been under lately, we are really going to try to relax, on this vacation. While we're both looking forward to spending this time together, we've decided we will be heading back to our room if things get too stressful. That way, the rest of the family can enjoy their vacations. ***** Let us know what you decide to do, okay? Barbara [/QUOTE]
