I agree with Chuck. You don't get to choose your family.I know she is family...but my rules for guests (including family)...they are MY points, it is MY vacation that you have been invited to share. Complainers are not invited, and if anyone complains while on the trip, or if they cancel last minute without a medical or pressing reason, they are not invited back. So far, two relatives are on that list. And my goodness, they can't imagine why?!
We have a lot of relatives, and I love them all dearly. But there are some I would take to DVC eagerly and others I wouldn't take on a bet.
It's not a good person/bad person thing in our family -- they're all great people. It's a high maintenance/low maintenance thing.
The relatives I would NOT take fall into three categories. One group would contribute nothing to the planning, complain about everything we scheduled as a group, constantly be late, and whine about the prices of everything.
Another smaller group would also not contribute to the planning, but would want to run the entire show once we got there...including demanding that everyone comply with their pet peeves/desires.
And the third group (not a small group, unfortunately) would be too unreliable to risk. They'd go back and forth about going, and would be a real risk to cancel at the last minute.
We love our family, but we don't take any of those folks on vacation with us.
