this should be an interesting trip...
so- my parents have a vacation house in the outer banks in NC. They rent it out most of the summer, but every year they let either me or my sister use it for a week with our friends. this year was my and DHs "turn".
we kept going back and forth about going there or somewhere else this year... and by the time we decided to go there, the only week left was next week.
so it was too late for most of our friends to get vacation time, etc. one couple who has an 18 month old said "we'll think about it" because they weren't sure they wanted to do the long drive with her, etc.
SO in the meantime my mom texted me "well, if none of your friends can make it down, maybe we'll go with you and we can check on the house, do a few things we need to do down there".
ok, fine- its their house HAHA
WELL about an hour later our friends texted saying " does the offer still stand? we're in..."
I figured either them or my parents would back out after I told them it would be us, them and my parents... but nope. all still going.
now these aren't friends that I grew up with who know my parents... they don't really know them at all, except for meeting once or twice at DS's birthday parties. AND my parents are those people who don't really like little kids except their grandkid HAHA so I'm not sure how that is all gonna go with my friends 18 month old toddling around. I'm just gonna be on edge the whole week about whether shes acting up, how my parents are reacting to it, etc, etc.
BUT I can't really ask my parents not to come- its their house and they're letting us use it for basically free. and can't really ask my friends not to come because that's just rude after we invited them, and the husband put in for his vacation time from work already...
anyway- just needed to vent about it HAHA hopefully it will go better than I'm thinking

Re: this should be an interesting trip...
Can you ask your parents if they really want to spend their free time with another family they don't know, and a toddler?
Or perhaps say that you'd like some time to spend with your friends as friends and it would be awkward for your friends to have your parents there since its their vacation too

thanks! thought about this- but like I said, its their house, so I feel pretty crappy asking them not to come, ya know? Plus, my grandmom hasn't been doing well for the past year or so and my mom has been doing a lot of the her care, etc and she said " I'm looking forward to getting away for a few days". so that makes me feel guilty, too, since I know shes had a crazy year with all that.
so- I think it is what it is. DH said " I guess we'll just have to look at it like a hotel or bed and breakfast HAHA everybodys staying there together, but we don't all have to do everything together the entire week"
so- we'll see how it goes!
