[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of 4 (3 girls and a boy). Yes, I would be hurt if they all went on vacation without me. I'd also be a little hurt if my 2 sisters went without me, but I could suck that up, cause at least my brother would be out too. But if all 3 of them went on vacation without inviting me --- yeah, that would sting badly.

FWIW I'm the oldest with the oldest kids. I get it - I remember the first family vacation we took when my oldest was a toddler. Went to a restaurant and they said it would be an hour wait. My younger siblings were all "no problem, we'll be at the bar," leaving me to be the wet blanket. And now that my kids are older and more flexible, guess who suddenly needs to eat at 6/stay in the shallow end/etc. But that's just how it goes amongst siblings in different life stages. I would never want to let that situation result in one of my siblings feeling hurt or excluded.

You need to decide if you want a ski trip or a family trip. If you want a ski trip, take it with your nuclear family and/or friends with same age kids.  If you want a family trip, include everyone and choose somewhere that you won't feel resentful of the big kid- little kid dynamics. [/quote]
