[quote=Anonymous][quote]I guess her/his point is stop spending the extra money to bring kids along and then pay for child care just so you can call it a "family vacation" and you won't have this problem. Go on getaways just you and your husband/wife and leave the kids at home or go for a family vacation that doesn't involve parents alone time (it's a FAMILY vacation after all...) DH and I are going away for 10 days with DC in July and then for 5 days in August just the two of us. You don't have to have it all crammed into one trip. I would not like to have to explain to DC why mommy and daddy are going to leave them for a while while we're all supposed to be on vacation together. [/quote]

Well, obviously it is odd if you want to take the kids along and not spend any time with them at all, but I think it could be great to take them to a place that has activities or care for them for two hours a day or so.  That way there is some family time, and some time to have a break for just mom and dad.  What could be wrong with that, sounds like the best of both worlds!  I don't feel that I need to explain to DS why I am leaving him for a while.  If the activities are fun and there are other kids there, he won't question it, and if he does, the answer is because I'm doing something for a little bit where kids are not allowed, and I'll be back soon so we can all do something fun together.[/quote]
