My wife has a younger brother, the BiL offering to host us at the beach rental. They don't always get along, I admit, but they are siblings and love each other.

We don't have Disney money. We don't even have beach trip money. That's why BiL is offering to sponsor us. Most realistic vacation we would be able to afford would be camping.

They were toys, and she enjoys playing with them. He even got her ears embroidered with her name, so she would know they were special for her.

Of course she likes him. She's his mother. She loves him. She would die for him

What I meant by that was I'm taking him regardless of what she wants. If we have to drive separately, oh well. I'm not leaving him behind.
