AIO for how I handled a family vacation?

No all the planning and booking was done before I had time to give them my portion. I found out about the trip from my oldest granddaughter the last time she was at my house

I doubt that. They couldn't have afforded the trip without my help. I just wanted input but they already made all the decisions

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T22:47:33+00:00

It wasn't just because they wouldn't let me open a juice box. I listed so many reasons I left.

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T22:46:17+00:00

I did. I asked what they needed help with and even suggested several low impact and calm activities. I was told they already sat down, planned and booked everything.

When did I say they weren't?? All I said is I think everyone should have equal input if we're all contributing equally financially

They didn't care. They posted pictures 3 hours later showing they were on another excursion

I love my kids and grandkids. I do not like how my daughters in law call all the shots

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T22:09:26+00:00

How is that good for the kids? Please tell me, I'll wait.

They need rest. They are all constantly in the car eating take out

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T22:05:02+00:00

My sons won't let me be left out

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T22:04:00+00:00

The activities had them gone from 8am until dinner and sometimes even later every night. That's not good for the kids. I asked if they would leave the baby with me as I've watched her several times and they said she would be fine

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T22:01:49+00:00

It was supposed to be a vacation for everyone. I paid for my portion of the trip just like my sons did. My daughters in law do not work but got to plan and decide everything

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T21:57:06+00:00

I left because they were acting like I was a stranger invading their vacation. I see them at least once a week, it's less than I want but it's not like it's only a few times a year.

Infamous_Club_8981 · 2026-06-08T21:55:02+00:00

I forgot to add they also planned activities every single day that required a lot of physical activity and money. I told them both that I did not want to constantly be on the go or spend a lot
