Grow some balls.... what's more important... making sure your family is safe and taken care of or not hurting poor dad's feelings? Like others have said... you don't need an EXCUSE... you already have REASONS.

Show him the place. Then swap cabins. If he says, " Iam not staying there"
Say, " Me either." |

Go to your dad's house...
Tell him that your belly has been feeling kind of twisty, maybe from something you ate. Then loudly and dramatically shit your pants. You will want to have prepped by not taking your morning shit when you get out of bed. Everybody will be okay with you going home. |

You shouldn't need much just because of the baby. We stayed in a small open air shack in WI a few years ago when my oldest was a baby. It was better than a tent. What got me was when you mentioned blood on the sheets. That is a deal breaker for me! I tend to be blunt with my family so I would tell them the shack sucks and leave.

Get in the car, call them when you are hour on the road and tell them the baby accidentally ate a cockroach in the dump he rented for you. They were crawling all over the place. You have to get him to his pediatrician pronto and your wife to the dermatologist for the rash she got from something on the sheets. Don't forget to mention you're coming down with a cold because the heater didn't work.

First off, It's Maggie Valley, not "Maggie's Valley." Never been camping before? What you described to a "T" is my cabin in the mountains. We have a blast there regardless of the weather. I'd head into town and purchase a kerosene heater, kerosene and a double sleeping bag. Next thing I'd do is quit whining and enjoy the beauty of the mountains during winter.  it sounds better than my cabin, but I wouldn't want to stay there with a baby. Yeah, you're probably right. Although we've had family visit our cabin with babies or very young children during the summer. Winter is a little different I guess. |

Unless you stand to inherit a shitload of money from him, tell him your wife considers the accommodations unacceptable and the three of you are going home.

Just tell dad the truth, the place is a dump and he needs to get a refund from the landlord. Hopefully he paid with a credit card so he can dispute the charge. I've been "camping" before during the winter with an infant and slept in the shed on land I own, but I was prepared for it and brought my own clean bedding, heater, etc. We also have power on site and the refrigerator in the shed worked just fine, and so did the microwave... which is why "camping" is in quotes. Sounds like the OP's accomodations are worse. |

I'm gonna go against the grain here.
Your father probably rented for you without seeing it. Thing is he was trying to do something special for you. Maybe he was there once a long time ago when it was nice. Maybe there is some amazing views and scenery you are missing that he thought you would enjoy as a 2nd honeymoon. Mountain cabins are not meant to be lived it, they are sleeping shacks, you should be outside not inside - except to sleep. Bringing the baby may not have been the smartest thing, but who chose to do that? Maybe you should have left him at the grandparents. The sheet deal is bad, but drive to the nearest walmart and buy some new fucking sheets and make the fucking bed. Then go for a hike, rent an ATV, go drive the mountain roads - do something besides sit around and bitch. Enjoy the outdoors. Maybe that was his plan. Damn I wish my dad was still alive and would have rented a mountain cabin for me and wife. What a thoughtful man he must be. You will dearly miss him when he's gone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Where are you at? The Smokies? Maggie's Valley. My Dad is a special kind. You just have to try and keep the peace. Our tempers clash, there isn't a calm conversation about things like this. Those arrangements are clearly and obviously insufficient when you have an infant. If your dad was misled as to the condition of those accommodations, his beef is with whoever misled him. If he misled you, well, that's just another reason to leave. You tried to keep the peace be trying to make flophouse level accommodation work. It didn't. If he can't have a calm conversation about this, then that's yet another reason to leave.

Tell him to come look at it.
Tell him it was false advertising. Go home. When he gets mad stay calm and look at him and ask if you are wrong in the place being a dump and you and your family not putting up with it just to try to make him happy. Alternative is mom and dad stay in dump and you stay at their place but I don't know if that is worth the hassle either. I understand the not getting along thing but it kind of needs settled. You both should comprehend it and no one is happy if everyone is mad, so stick to facts and bring it back to facts if it strays. The concept that you feel you need to make up an excuse is wrong. Facts. Nothin but the facts. I have seen relatives so mad I wonder if they are going to have a stroke or a heart attack, but overall it is simple to deal with. It comes down to the concept that someone is right and someone is wrong and if they can't be a man or woman able to take being wrong then tough. I don't like being wrong, but now and then it happens and I deal with it. |

Kinda sounds like you've made your decision: Your dad's happiness is more important than your family's. So why are you asking us?
I never understood people who take crap from family members to "keep the peace". How is that keeping the peace? Your wife is watching this and it will affect her opinion of you going forward. Your first duty is to her and your child. And of course, there was already a guy in the thread defending the dad. |

In a back room, set your alarm on your phone for 5min. Go back to where everyone is and sit down and wait. When your alarm goes off, get up, turn your alarm off and say, "well, my cookies are done". Walk out, get in your truck and leave. Simple.

Where are you at? The Smokies? 
I'm in the smokies... Traffic was rough today. But other then that it's been great. But I paid $1200 for the cabin for the week and it was nice... 
I learned at a young age when I take the family on vacation to suck it up and pay for a nice place. 2 years ago we went to Disney world for a week and stayed in a Disney Resort. Money well spent. When I was in college we would sleep anywhere that was cheap. Hell just last week I grabbed a $32 a night roach motel during a deer hunting trip. But I was alone driving. Would have never put kids there. OP.... You have a family now. Go pay for a nice place. And learn the lesson most of us do eventually. Your children need a clean safe place. And that almost always costs more. |

Like others have said, tell them you have to think of the child's welfare. My dad started saying something really stupid yesterday and I interrupted and said it wasn't appropriate for little girls to hear. He stopped saying it and we all moved on. I don't know if he took offense or not, frankly I don't care, I have to think of my kids.
