One woman was feeling the unpleasant side effects of this after a family vacation to Disneyland started to go wrong. She, her husband, and their 2-year-old son had gone to Disneyland with her brother-in-law, his wife, and their three teenage kids. She and her husband had paid for everything, including the rental of an extra camper van to accommodate their relatives.
The camper van they owned was bigger, but the smaller family planned to stay in it because it accommodated some of their essential needs. However, the brother-in-law's family immediately began complaining that the rented camper would not be enough for them.
The woman insisted that they didn't switch, leading the family and her husband to complain about her. She wondered if she was being selfish.

Family with 2-year-old pays for Disneyland holiday for in-laws with 3 teenage kids, they complain when they have to stay in the smaller camper van: 'This isn't big enough'
Despite the fact that they are meant to be all about relaxation and enjoyment, vacations can be a stressful time. Just when you think you have temporarily left the everyday stresses of life behind, some new and pressing ones come to take their place.
This is especially true when you are on holiday with your family. A vacation with relatives is one of those experiences that has a tendency to bring entitlement and unresolved conflicts to the surface, and what's worse is you don't even have the space to get away from them when it becomes overwhelming. Even with the most accommodating of family members, there is a lot to plan to make sure that you all enjoy yourselves.
When relationships are already strained, it can often lead to an unhappy situation. Considering the money and effort it takes to go on vacation, it is something that most would want to avoid at all costs.
