Just to be clear -- is someone really implying that you have to own a beach house to create good memories and a happy childhood for your children? Really, or am I misreading how the dichotomy is set up?

I'm not sure that people without beach houses are confined to mortgagor children. That's ... an odd take.[/quote]

I assume people who did not grow up with access to family vacation homes don’t really understand, so it’s easy to be dismissive about the experiences, memories and traditions. A rental is not the same thing, not even close. And also, if you’re miserable and hate where you’re from or are estranged from family, it’s even easier to be dismissive about all of this.[/quote]

This is obviously OP, right? You are insufferable and it's clear why your siblings didn't want to own anything with you. You seem to have a very inflated sense of yourself. My husband's parents own a glorious, waterfront estate as their second home. My  memories, those of my husband dating back to his childhood, and those of my own children who have had countless visits to this beautiful home, are dreadful. We hate it. They are miserable, overly formal, boring visits. You see, it's the people and the experiences that we either cherish or detest. The home itself has nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, my family rented nice homes in North Carolina for decaces, often the same one year after year, and those memories are much much more meaningful for us. So please, get over yourself.
