[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]

We have 4 kids (tweens and teens) and they’ve never complained about travel. They love to travel!

But we don’t drag them into countless museums or run them ragged from dawn til dusk.

Have you asked your kids where they’d like to go? Maybe they’d prefer a week in the Caribbean rather than museum hopping in Europe? [/quote]

This is a pretty obnoxious comment.  It's great that your kids love to travel, but not everyone is running their kids ragged or dragging them to museums for them not to like travel.  I have two boys - one 18 and one 16.  The 18 year old loves to travel and always has.  He will go anywhere, but doesn't really like lazy vacations - he likes to do things.  The 16 year old is a total homebody.  He has been this way since he was about 10.  He's a little anxious, doesn't really like crowds. He just feels "safe" at home.  He also is a typical teen who likes hanging with his friends most of all, so that doesn't help things.  That said, we offered to do a short trip with a friend and he didn't want to do that either.  So is this bad parenting, or just his personality?  [/quote]
