[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you don't trust your kids? But you are considering just handing them over to complete strangers in a foreign country? Are you serious? This is because you need you time right?

Seriously unbelievable!

How about going to a great restaurant with your kids, talking about the highlights of the day, things they still want to do, order something fun off the menu, go shopping for trinkets and stopping at an ice cream store for desert? This is what I just did, oh yeah I called for massages and they only had room for one so I let my daughter get one (I was in the room) even though I threw out my back.  This was her highlight of the trip. Then after the kids went to bed my husband and I shared a bottle of wine on the balcony. Ya know, I put my kids first because I am a parent and we ALL created fabulous memories.

But please enjoy your wine and your time and shuffle your kids off to complete strangers. I am sure they will enjoy it and who knows probably remember it for the rest of their life too. So when you are old, they in return can shuffle you off to complete strangers in a nursing home.

Enjoy lady! [/quote]

What a weird rant. Our kids (both 6) have been in kids' clubs all over the world, including a recent trip to Southeast Asia. They love going to kids' clubs to play with other kids and explore the toys and games that are there just for them. We spend 98% of the trip together and they always look forward to that part of their trip as well.

Most kids' clubs I've ever seen anywhere in the world have the kids in one area that is locked and you need some sort of ID to get in to get them. There's always a fenced-off area for playing, again locked so only parents can get in. There was a shell collecting adventure on the beach in Bali, but we didn't get downstairs early enough to drop them off for it, so I can't say what the safety precautions were when they were on the beach. They wound up going into the kids' club for the next activity, but had we gotten down early enough, I'm confident that they would've been safe on the beach, too.

I mean, always use your instinct, but I've never been in a resort where I've felt uncomfortable leaving the kids.[/quote]
