It goes the other way too. The kids go up to the cottage for a weekend with their friends. Some of the in-laws nearby cottages really have some dumb young adults. Brilliant ideas like "let's go drinking and boating", shooting a pellet gun at their buddies swimming, trying to wakeboard with no spotter and the boat driver only looking backwards so everybody else needs to get out of their way, etc. Tbh, I'm surprised they survived the weekend.Our problem was in the city. When the kids got old enough to not go to the cottage the parents went to enjoy the cottage peace and quiet while the kids had all night parties keeping the whole neighbourhood awake.
