[quote=Anonymous]I've only been on one trip with my parents. We chauferred them around Scotland and Ireland. Everyone paid for their own but they paid for the rental car, and my husband drove a manual transmission, on the wrong side of the road, with them in the back asking what was for dinner and have we seen their passports. I thought it was kinda fun - they had never been before - but later mom said she knew we only asked them along because we needed someone to rent the car. Not true. I just thought it was a nice thing to do because DH drove them all over. A very hurtful remark and we've limited contact since (from other things but this was icing on the cake). We have family trips with our own children and we pay. About one big one every other year, and they come to the lake with us for the three big summer holidays. I buy all the food for meals and boat gas. They buy the snacks, water, tougher chores around the cabin, etc. --a much better experience. [/quote]
