HELP!!! MIL wants to take my DC's to WDW alone!!!! UPDATE!!

[kaysmommie]

As I mentioned before, the IL's were going to split four days with my parents to take both of our DD's. My DH and I are taking some time to ourselves. My only request is that my girls stay together. THey are two years apart and they LOVE being with each other. My Mom just called me to tell me that MIL said that she wants the older DD and my mom can have my younger DD and MAYBE they can switch halfway through. I'm like, "WHAT?!?" I really want the girls to stay together... should I bring this up with MIL or let it die...?

Tell her it's a package deal and the girls are to be kept together .

Sorry, I must chime in here...

Do NOT let it die! I'm the youngest of 3 (dbro oldest, then dsis, then me)
Since my brother was 1st grandchild, my grandparents spoiled him crazy. Even after my sister was born, it continued and they would take him to a movie, Phillies games, WDW, etc. and tell my sister that she was "too little."
By the time I was born and old enough to notice, my parents had put a stop to it but my sister STILL has scarring memories of this in her 40's.
I saw the beginnings of this with my dad and oldest ds10 (also have ds7) and put a quick stop. Things like xbox360 for his bday etc.
I remind him my sis remembers still and if he wants to do things with them or buy them things it's both or NONE!
Stick to your guns on this and good luck!

MIL called today to ask if I thought a three-day park hopper pass would be all we needed.... I spit my coffee across the counter... THREE DAYS?????
Me: " No I really think we at LEAST need 5 day passes- at LEAST."

MIL:" "Really? but there are only those three parks.... the Castle One, the Epcot one, and the Zoo Adventure one, right?

Me: "Well, there is also MGM studios"....
MIL: "I thought that was in California...??"
Me: " No, I've been there. Trust me- its in Orlando and worth seeing."
MIL "Are you sure you aren't thinking about that Universal stuff?"
Me: "No."
MIL: "Don't you think there will be parks you will want to skip?"
ME: "THe only parks I don't mind skipping are the waterparks, SeaWorld and Universal Studios."
MIL: "I thought SeaWorld was in Texas"
