In-laws invite themselves on 31 and 36-year-old couple's 2-week vacation, don't understand when they refuse

Would you go on vacation with your in-laws?

Maybe you love the people in your family, but there are limits to the time that you want to spend with them. For example, if you've been planning a vacation for some time with your significant other, you probably don't want your in-laws showing up and ruining everything. A family vacation is completely different than a partner vacation. It becomes less of a vacation and more of a trip. It's not unreasonable to want to protect your peace and keep your time to yourself. If you're not careful, then they might take too much of your time, and then you'll end up living your life in order to protect others, not for your own sanity.

That's what happened in this story, where a pair of in-laws just wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. They wanted to invite themselves on a vacation that they shouldn't have been on. As a rule, you should try not to invite yourself anywhere. It's not a very becoming thing to do, no matter who you are. We should all be a little more like vampires and ask to be invited in. The parents in this story should have taken the note and let up a little before their time. It's not always easy to deal with in-laws, and these ones were no exception. You can have all the love in the world for them and still get frustrated at the way they treat you.

Commenters had all sorts of ideas about how to deal with this kind of in-law. Unfortunately, it's a situation that a lot of us have had to deal with over the years. We've all built up defenses around how to deal with our families. We've gotten to know how they tick, so we know how to deal with them when problems arise. But this doesn't always work. So sometimes we need some outside opinions to help clear up what's in our heads. Keep reading to see what happened in this story and see what you think about it.
