[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand- the kids are teens. Send them to the pool if they don’t want to nap.

It not at all that are stuck with the kids; the teens want a little rope.

You are mad because you think he gets a break and you don’t. But since the kids aren’t babies, this t even an issue.[/quote]
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.[/quote]

Just because you cherish spending every waking moment with your kids doesn’t mean your DH has to feel the same way. It’s perfectly reasonable to want a an hour or two to yourself each day during a vacation and your kids are old enough that it’s reasonable for each parent to be able to do so without unduly burdening the other.

You complain it’s unfair that he gets this break and you don’t but it’s pretty clear you don’t actually want time to yourself, you just don’t want him to have it either. You need to become more independent and stop waiting around for him to do each and every activity. Plan something to do just you and the kids or occasionally do something for yourself and let him bear the brunt of the kids being bored while he naps.[/quote]
