Vacay that went bad quickly! Kinda Long

Im usually a lurker here but I thought I would post my frustrations.  I am currently on vacation with my family, DH, 2 yr old DS and 12 yr old SD.  We are on vacation with my mother and her boyfriend at his mothers beach house.  Things have been going well so far DH goes fishing with moms bf during the day while mom and I take the kids to the beach pool or whatever activity we have planned.  It is going well and how we had planned things to go until my mother looks at me today and says, My BF's drinking buddy is going to come stay here for a few days with us!

WHAT!! a guy I have met once briefly whom your bf described as an "animal" is suposed to be coming here to stay on our family vacation for "a few days"  grr Im so annoyed and have little to combat this with but to just go home, which is what DH wants to do in the am. 

 All of this is going to cause a huge fallout with my mom, we have one of those walking on eggshells relationships and I was thinking to myself earlier today that I cant believe things are going so well and nothing has occured well I certainly couldn't have called this one...GRR.. I am either going to have to leave early or deal with her ridiculousness when I confront her, neither of these options are going to leave her and I in a good place.  I really wish she hadn't done this.

    Can't you just have fun without them? Be gone all day except bedtime. Is he going to be having drunk parties in the beach house?

    Pay your SD $20 to say that she is feeling really sick or wants to see her mom or whatever...

    HAHA I totally thought of having her do that!! 

    I'm not sure we can pull off the whole staying gone thing just because we have been doing EVERYTHING together and my mom is just really weird and super sensitive to everything, she flies off the handle easily and tomorrow we had this whole thing planned to like go to this island together and do like a joint beach/ fishing  day with the kids and the guys and lunch and everything, its been planned all week and if we bail on it, which we will have to, it will consist of us watching Mom, BF and "animal" drinking all day.

      I guess I just think this is soo crazy because she never would have let this fly when my brother and I were kids, and this kinda stuff is exactly why she divorced my dad!

    Maybe give it a day and see if this guy really is an "animal".  Maybe he will tone it down with the kids around? And if not and he is behaving badly then how could your mom blame you for not wanting to be around that or have your kids around that?

    this is what I would do...I would hope a grown man would contain himself around kids...but I have known some who can't..I'd wait and make you decision...GL!

    Another "ditto" - I'd wait to see how the guy acts before I decide what to do.  

    You know the players better than us, obviously.  But I know people have described my DH in ways that aren't entirely true.  He's very outgoing, social, likes to drink and really makes any party more fun.  I don't think he'd be described as an "animal", but still - he has this fun-loving, "let's tie one on" side, but yet, he knows how to act around kids!
