[quote=Anonymous]1 - 1 week max. Make up some work commitments, for crying out loud. 2 - You can make the best of it for a week. Go set up the beach tent at 8am and hang out outside all day, taking turns watching the kids or reading a book. Anyone who does not want to play with kids or watch you read a book will go back inside. Plan a family event that does not involve dad's colon health. A game? Movie night? I get being an introvert (I am one!) but sometimes trying to manage the social interaction is easier than trying to avoid it. My family does this beach week thing every year and some years are great. Some not. We all take turns cooking dinner. Similarly, we take turns having time out as couples too. I have 3 siblings, and there are NINE kids between us at beach week. So, at some point, we just pool all the children for the evening and one couple gets the evening or afternoon off.[/quote]
