[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between camp and what you are talking about is the kid probably wants to go to sleep away camp. You are just pawning your kid off on others so that you can have fun Huge difference. [/quote]

Okay, forget the camp reference. [b]What about parents just going on a trip on their own without their kids? You’re opposed to parents going away to have fun as a couple? Please share.[/b] [/quote]

Yes.  DH and I, did not go away for a vacation together without our kids.  Period.   And we had plenty of fun in our own house, we hosted a lot of parties, we have a huge social circle.

[b]Children remained our priority [/b]and thankfully in our circle kids are a part of any celebration - birthdays, weddings, holidays etc.

When kids become older and go to camps etc away from home - feel free to go on couple-only trip.  [/quote]

This is the dumbest framing of this situation on this whole thread, and that's saying something.  I would venture to say that for the vast majority of parents, their kids are their priority.  That doesn't mean they have to be included in everything.  I have often told my daughter that while she is the most important thing to us, that doesn't mean that her desires are *always* the most urgent things.  We have to work, go grocery shopping, attend to the hundreds of aspects of daily life, and yes, enjoy ourselves.  [/quote]
