[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shared lists are your friend. DH and I use the Cozi app to keep running lists for groceries, household goods, etc. Vacations get their own list created, with both of us adding to it the week or so before we go, as we think of things.

When it’s time to pack, the adults gather stuff based on the list. Kids old enough to read have their own individual packing lists written out. At first, you’ll have an adult double-check your work. But eventually, you’re presumed old enough to know better and/or to deal with the consequences when you half-ass your preparations. (Looking at you, DC who brought one pair of pants on a 4-day trip.)

You can choose to be a martyr if you secretly enjoy it and don’t guilt trip others because of your active choice. But you don’t have to live like this if you don’t want to. [/quote]

It took me YEARS to get the family to use shared calendars.  Really, you can't imagine the reluctance I had.  Spouse likes paper lists -- but of course they are lost by the time next trip comes around.

Shared lists are not happening; I have my own list, but just at the end of the trip I have these two backpacks of cables and medicine and random stuff to tuck into our small cabinet in our small house.
