[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you take a weekend trip at some other time?  What have I missed here? [/quote]
Husband works every other weekend.

One of our weekends away was in June. (Now, that’s when MIL has planned the party.

Other weekend, he works.

July:

Trip with ILs
Our solo trips 
Weekend away
DH works

Then it’s August. We may or may not be able to make weekend trips work because of kid commitments.

There are four weekends a month. Go the other June weekend. Or go in May. Why do you need to go in summer if its over the weekend?[/quote]
Kids have commitments that don’t end until school year is over.

Why don’t you believe me that these are the only weekends that work?[/quote]

Well you listed out everything in July but nothing elsewhere.

I simply don't believe that you have only two weekends all summer long to take a trip away. Let your kid miss a soccer game, its not the end of the world.[/quote]
I don’t know how it doesn’t make sense.

June:
3rd weekend: School out weekend of Father’s Day. DH works.
4th: Away (same weekend as celebration).
5th: DH works.

July:
1st: Trip with ILs
2nd: Solo vacations
3rd: DH works
4th: Away

August starts DS travel football. He most certainly would not be willing to skip a game.

To me it is exponentially more reasonable for your kid to skip a game than for you to skip a family reunion. Or whatever else is happening on Memorial Day weekend or the other two weekends in June as school winds down.

You're clearly looking for reasons not to go which like, whatever.

Why not move your (extremely luxurious and enviable) week-long solo vacations into times of year when your kids aren't tied up with obligations if their scout meetings are that important to them?[/quote]
