We have just come back from a fortnight away in a lovely villa, with one week one set of parents and 2nd week other parents.
One week went really well, parents helped, tidied up, chatted away with kids but didn't go out much which was a shame for them I thought but said it was too hot to do much & they liked pottering...
In contrast, PILS complained about heat, mosquito bites, stressed about being dropped off, picked up, not having priority boarding there and then returning too, not being in the next town and talked about themselves constantly with only cursory interest in kids.
Booked taxis for them costing hundreds of pounds, flights, trips out and dinners as well as villa.
Reason we asked them was to spend quality time with their grandchildren!
I ended up hiding for long spells in the bathroom and my husband in the pantry!!
Anyone know the feeling?
AIBU to expect too much? 🤔
AINBU to feel mugged off?
