[QUOTE="totoro, post: 338003, member: 3155"] I'll try to keep it short! :raspberry-tounge: So even though the family business is going down hill fast, (we couldn't pay ourselves this month who knows about next month) mother in law is bored and has been hanging out with one sister and the other one is showing up this weekend. WELL they have gotten the STUPID idea for a family reunion. This July. I would be fine with this, let them have their reunion. It is going to be in Colorado. Fine. But mother in law is not going to take kindly to us saying NO. Reasons why- * Biggest one and should be the most flipping obvious, last July when we went to Chicago K had a breakdown and was manic and we had to leave early with her trying to hurt herself and not able to tell what was real or not. Doctors had warned once again that she CAN"T travel far or longer than a day. But we did it just to prove it to mother in law. And to try to be the good kids. We told her we are not TRAVELING ANYMORE. * We are broke! *The girls want to go somewhere fun! :winking: We told them maybe if we can afford it we can drive over to the coast. She is sending out mass e-mails to all of the family with dates, itineraries and the "Come on everyone this if for family!" Ra-Ra Cheerleaders... I flat out told husband, "Set her straight soon, so this doesn't turn into some big deal worse than it already will be" He is bummed that she just wouldn't have come to him and said that she is planning this and realizes we can't go but we are welcome. Her and father in law are going to act like they have forgotten last summer and treat us like we are overreacting. They will say things like, "We will help pay, we will set up your own cabin..." Once again forgetting that none of that matters with how K is right now, even N couldn't handle the trip last Summer. She can't handle more than a night or 2 herself. The girls were crying after 2 nights about nightmares and begging to go home. I am not doing this to my kids. BLECH!:whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
