[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly you are doing something wrong on your trips. 
As your  kids what kind of vacations they are in to.[/quote]

Clearly you haven’t had the pleasure of parenting teenagers yet. You’ll see, lol. You’ll be eating your words![/quote]

Not PP you were responding to, but I have an 18 and 13 year old, and they would never dare say they don't want to go. Sometimes they get grumpy, but nothing that a fun excursion or fun food won't fix. I work hard to include activities they'll like, and the expectation is that we're a family unit and we do things together. The college freshman will still accompany us this summer, as far as his internship will allow.

All my friends have teens, and they ALL, without exception, accompany their parents on trips and have fun on vacation.

So I don't know what's wrong with your teens, PP, but your situation is not the norm.

You either can’t read or have comprehension problems. The thread isn’t just about whether teens have fun on the trips, it’s also about navigating their pre-trip antics and pushback, which is completely normal behavior for the average teen as they develop and establish their independence. Nothing is wrong with anyone’s kids, so you can stop that dumb nonsense right there.

You live in la-la land and smoke drugs if you stupidly believe that none of your friends kids have ever complained about a family trip. They all complain at some point and you and your friends are lying to each other, which given your sanctimonious attitude, is not surprising.

Also it’s not surprising that your kids find it difficult to voice their own opinion and don’t “dare” speak against your wishes about anything, much less a vacation, as it’s clear you would just disparage and discredit them. I feel bad for your kids, being invalidated by you all the time.
