[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are completely in the right here, and a lot of the posters are just flat out ridiculous (or maybe have a lot in common with your cousin).

We do a yearly beach trip with two other families (total of 5 adults and 4 children). We grocery shop communally and everyone takes turns cooking dinner (even the kids, which is a fun if not totally tasty experience!). Everyone is very much of the "it takes a village philosophy" and it makes for a fun, smooth, and relaxing experience for all. For example, any adult going to get a drink will absolutely offer refills to the other adults. "Hey, I'm going to get more sangria. Anyone need a refill?" Regarding each others' children, all the parents pitch in. The two early rising parents prep breakfast for all of the kids. I usually end up making the sandwiches for all of the kids to take to the beach because I'm a quick sandwich maker. We all pitch in to watch each others children in order for all of us adults to have some childfree time.

The communal aspect and attitude is probably the largest part of what makes a multi-family vacation work. I can't imagine spending my limited time and money to vacation with a bunch of selfish assholes. And frankly, a lot of you sound like selfish assholes.[/quote]
