[quote=Anonymous]My teens would lock themselves in their rooms at the beach and not come out at all. We’ve recently tried to set some reasonable parameters. 1. Come out for dinner. 2. Spend one hour a day on the beach (or otherwise out) with us. My 14 year old thinks this is reasonable. My 16 year old not so much but she goes along. I always try to pick my battles. I want to enjoy my vacation and can’t if my kids are being dragged along and complaining. I honestly think the miserable teen is worse than the whining toddler and preschooler who could be distracted with a fun activity or special treat. I’m trying to focus on the positive side. DH and I often feel like we’re on a kid-free vacation. We can lounge on the beach all day without interruption if we want. Would I prefer fun quality time with my kids? You bet! Is there any way to get them on board? Nope. [/quote]
