[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Less important but worth noting is the unfairness to me because it’s not like I get a similar break; in fact, I would find it incredibly selfish to take two hours every day for myself on family vacation. We coordinated and paid money to take this trip, it seems foolish to waste 14 waking hours of the trip on naps. [/quote]

I don't know if anyone has addressed this, but your framing here is absolutely bonkers.  It isn't that you aren't getting a similar break, you are just refusing to take one.  You could take one if you wanted to.  But you apparently don't want to, and don't want him to either.  That's a valid (though selfish) position to take, but it is crazy to suggest that it's unfair that you don;t get something that you don't want, and could have but choose not to take.  [/quote]

In your mind, you want a nap, so everyone else should have one too.

Oh is that jetboat tour leaving now? Too bad. You should want a nap. Or go by yourself. Sorry, kid—Dad needs his "alone" time. Maybe some other year.[/quote]
Literally no one said that.

If I want a nap, I can nap, and if you don't want a nap, you can do something else. There are multiple options here that you are refusing to see and only rabidly holding onto this notion that he's refusing to let his family do anything while he locks himself in the bathroom jerking off. Quite the imagination you have![/quote]

Again, to the tape...

OP said:

[b]I cherish this time with my kids, but we are sort of in limbo waiting on his naps, and want him included. We are busy at home and rarely get this sort of quality time. The kids wish he didn’t have to nap.[/b]

His [b]kids[/b] want to do special things with him. He won't.

My bet is selfishness, but maybe he's got apnea and can't stay awake (weird how he stays awake for HIS activities tho). The only other reason I can think of for such mulish refusal to spend time with the kids and insistence that it be in the hotel room, by himself is a porn addiction. It's not uncommon. [/quote]
