Vacations are supposed to be relaxing. And they usually are… Until the in-laws get involved.

 

This week, Janelle is talking about the chaos that ensues when a family “vacation” turns into a passive-aggressive competition. Who sleeps where, who pays for what, and who gets the kids’ attention first… it’s all on the table.

 

From beach trips gone bad to why your MIL suddenly thinks she’s co-parenting the minute “HER” grandkids arrive, Janelle has advice on how to survive family getaways without losing your mind.

 

And, at the end of the day, sometimes NOT taking the big family vacation is the right move. Because you need to protect your peace, and sometimes, the best vacation is the one you didn’t take together.
