Is going on holiday with mum and dsis a recipe for disaster

[Janethegirl]

As title, please can you help me decide if I really need a lobotomy as I am seriously considering this.

It depends how well you get on with them.

I've just come back from a lovely week away with my mum and Dsis, it was great to spend some time with them, as I live some distance from them, and don't often see them without kids/hubby in tow.

But if your relationship is at all strained, or you like doing different things, then it could be difficult

Is there a background thread somewhere? I have many sisters.

If your relatives are like my dmum and sister A then you are not mad. There will be much laughter, eating of cakes and drinking of alcohol.

If, however, they are like sister B or C then I'd think it was a recipe for disaster and if it was A,B and C plus dmum then I'd run for the hills. And I say that as someone who has holidayed on more than occasion with DMIL and DSIL.

I've been away recently with DM but dsis visited for a couple of days and it went ok. However dsis and DM do argue a lot even on the phone so I'm not too sure it's a good idea.
I would book somewhere with plenty of space though.

DSis and I do drink (a lot!) but dm does not, again maybe an issue.

It sounds like it could be ok. I think what helped us was having separate rooms and having points where we didn't all have to be together eg dsis went to the gym: dm and I went to cafe; dsis and dm went for a walk: I went for a nap.

I sometimes argue with my dm on the phone but we were all much more relaxed on holiday so didn't argue at all. I would do it again.

Yes, separate rooms are totally non negotiable, still think I may bite the bullet.
