Hi,
I need a treat. We are away on a trip with MIL and she is driving me crazy. She wants to go all day long and wander the streets in a foreign country. She’s 81. While she is a little nervous about wandering the roads, she asks our teenage daughters to go out with her. The oldest says No but the younger one will go. I keep saying No but then tonight, she insisted on going and my dear husband got stuck, even though he was tired and had a full belly. I told him to start saying “No” but he is a wuss. Tomorrow the kids want to go up to 12,000 feet and see a glacier, she doesn’t want to go, said No to swimming in a pool, no to a sauna, and told me there weren’t enough stores where we are! I may leave her alone and go up high with my kids?
So for my treat when we get home, should I buy a Mommy float pool, a new MacBook or go away for a weekend or tell the hubby to give me 500.00 to spend?
I need something or I will get sick again and I don’t want that.

Get yourself a promise from hubby that there will be no more vacations with MIL. Did you and your husband cover MIL travel costs? If so, extracting a promise like this won’t cost any money plus it will save you time, energy, AND money in the long run.
