What's the scenario? Are you looking to go away sans kids? How old and how many are they (the children?!)? Have they babysat for this period of time before?

Try and pick dates that don't require the in-laws to have to do school drop-off pick-up (if that's normally the case), but you have to then balance the non-school dates with fare prices of course... ?| .
Provide plenty of activities for the kids, or maybe arrange for them to be able to go do something so that the inlaws aren't "on-duty" for the entire time?

To be fair this info would help. There are some of us on here that are pro's sorting such instances... :w

Get them to agree to 1/2 nights then book more and present it as a fait accompli.
