[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 596568, member: 15907"] Given your situation, I think you're being more than accomodating to their expectations. I place their actions in the same category as when my mom calls me because someone's just come to visit she wants me to talk to, regardless of my time, feelings or having anything useful to communicate. This isn't simply a 94 year old thing, she has ALWAYS done this. Sometimes out of a desire to get people with issues to "kiss and make up." Opinion Spoiler below: I think you should have begged out. "Sorry, nobody consulted me on timing or whether our situation allows for this. Have fun, see you next year maybe." Put much more diplomatically or nicely, of course - my whole being is currently short-tempered due to a week of illness and Kiddo's increasingly verbal Obsessive behaviors. And that summer "vacation" is a week and a half away, with more icky details. But... sometimes we can't do what we want, in the name of longer term consequences. You know your situation better than I. So go, and have fun despite the Drama of Damocles hanging over your vacation. :) [/QUOTE]
