[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vacations are in way perfect for spending more time and connecting with your family, so why many people vacation without their kids? I am not trying to be judging, I want to understand what the thought process.[/quote]

Because there are things I enjoy, and want to do, that my kids don't want to do, or aren't appropriate for them.  And I see no reason why my spouse and I should have to wait 15 years to go wine tasting in Napa, for example.

Our kids stay with their grandparents, and all parties involved love the arrangements.

So, let me ask you - what is difficult to understand about this?  Do you have a hard time interacting with your spouse if your kids aren't present?  Do you need the kids as a buffer?  [/quote]

Nope. My kids are 20 and 18 now .  We have a very strong marriage. Napa is not a necessity and is selfish. I would save that for when the kids are grown.

Do you know delayed gratification? Do you always put yourself first? You can manage without Napa.[/quote]

You sound insufferable. Also the message your kids got may not be the one you thought you were sending by never prioritizing your marriage. [/quote]

I do prioritize my marriage, I have been married 21 years. BUT I don't need to dump my kids off for a week to do that. Date night is good enough.[/quote]

Since when did dropping kid off with their grandparents becoming dumping them off? Or kids away at sleep-a-way camp during the summer? Some of y'all really are crazy martyrs.  You don't get extra credit for spending 24/7 with your kids.[/quote]
