[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like some lala land weird idea of what family life should look like. We have an 8 figure hhi yet don’t take that many vacations, and it’s nothing to do with money. You seem to have an idealized version of life and want to slot kids into it, but that’s not how it works. Maybe when the kids are very young, but if your kids do serious sports or school activities, a lot of your schedule will revolve around that. For vacations, it depends what level of nice you want, but we have 4 kids, and a ski week alone is well over half your travel budget. You also seem to be ignoring sleep away camps, sport camps, etc. I think you want some instagram version of parenting. [/quote]

This. We are very wealthy. In order to be wealthy, spouse doesn’t take six weeks off a year. I mean really…Also, kids activities, etc. This person is delusional and it’s hilarious that they think traveling with three kids is so easy. Come back and report on this once you have one kid.[/quote]

What’s the point of being wealthy if you cannot even take 6 weeks off spread around the entire year?  :lol:  
Also, travel sports and activities are not mandatory to raise kids, you are just conforming to other people’s choices.  If you don’t like it don’t do it? You can choose to cultivate different experiences for your kids where travel fits in and is a part of it.  It’s hardly uncommon for families whose kids are good friends to travel together on vacation. does’t need always involve sharing a home, could be diff hotels, diff budgets, but the idea is being in the same place at the same time. Kids have fun while adults don’t have to constantly entertain them. [/quote]
