My husband booked a trip to the smoky mountains for our anniversary. My mother in-law was around here yesterday begging me to ask my sister in-law if she would like to come with us. She said that my sister in-law has been wanting to go there in along time but the husband has not taken her there yet.
I mean this is our anniversary....
My husband has not a clue this is happening?

My Dad was born and bred in Sevierville, TN at the base of the Smokey Mountains. Growing up I spent my summers in Sevierville,still have many relatives living there. The Smokey Mountains are absolutely gorgeous and there are many other things to do. If you go up the mountains in TN and go down the other side you will be in Cherokee, N.C. Did you know the Smokies have the most different plants and flowers. I am so happy that you will be going there. If this is your anniversary, celebrate it together, you don't need a third wheel. Tell your mom-in-law that you would like to be alone with your husband to celebrate and maybe in the future you all could return for a visit. I can't even imagine your sis in law wanting to go knowing this is a special time for the both of you, but some people are very inconsiderate. Just the two of you go. Have a wonderful time and enjoy all the wonders of your trip. God Bless.

Does your mother-in-law do this often? You should tell your husband and the both of you should talk to your sister in law about this being a two person trip only. If you keep ignoring the mother-in-laws attempts to meddle in your business its only gonna get worse. If she is so concerned with her daughter going she should plan a trip for her and her daughter to go themselves...that would be a lot easier than trying to keep the two of you from enjoying your anniversary...trust me, she knows what she is doing...she has had anniversaries before!!

Your mother-in-law was way out of line even asking that of you and your husband!! If the sister-in-law wants to go so bad then she needs to tell her own husband. If you mother-in-law mentions it again I would simply explain to her that this trip is for you and your husband to have some alone time and leave it at that.

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. YOUR HUSBANDS MOTHER WANTS YOU TO TAKE YOUR HUSBANDS SISTER WITH THE TWO OF YOU ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY?? THAT'S CRAZY!! DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING, ITS YOUR ANNIVERSARY, MEANT FOR THE TWO OF YOU!!! PLAN A FAMILY THING FOR NEXT YEAR OR SOME OTHER TIME WHEN YOU CAN ALL GO. YOU'RE SISTER IN-LAW SHOULD BE UNDERSTANDING, AND SHE CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT EXPECT FOR YOU GUYS TO TAKE HER. TELL HER YOU WILL TAKE LOTS OF PICS!!

Tell her that it's your anniversary and she can't go. Try to make arrangements to take her some other time. Why is it so hard for us to tell people the truth???? I'm the same way.

Hopefully your husband would agree that she is not welcome to go on this trip. She has no business going. Your mother in-law has no business suggesting this. Tell her that it is a special time for you and your husband. I am sure your husband will agree.

Just tell her you two were planning it for just the two of you just like a honeymoon and it would mean a lot to you and your husband if only you and him go. You could tell your husband to tell his own mom and maybe she would cut you some slack.

yes tell your husband what going on this is you and your husband day not family and explain it to them but first let your husband in on it and then tell them we can plan a family trip later

Tell him that your mother wants you two to take his sister along
Or better yet, tell her that you'll talk about it with hubby, but if sister goes, then you and hubby wont be working on any grandchildren for her

This is your anniversary - tell your mother-in-law that you'll offer some other holiday.
