[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We enjoy our kids so we bring them.[/b] But it makes it much more expensive. We have 3.

And we typically have to d Airbnb over a luxe hotel.[/quote]

NEWSFLASH.

Those of us that do trips without our kids ALSO enjoy our kids.  Good lord people.  Why is it so hard to comprehend that you can adore your children and still value time away from them???

I don’t want time away from them. I get plenty of it as it is. We like to bring them along to experience new things together.

Many of our happiest family memories are of vacations.

We have a great marriage, regular sex at home and on vacation (this is partly why we do Airbnb over hotel suites) and don’t feel the need to leave our kids at home. We could if we wanted to, both sets of grandparents have offered, but we just don’t want to.

We travel 4 times a year plus a few long weekends and ski trips.[/quote]

Our kids are like our little buddies. We would be sad without them. We just really like being with them, I don’t know how else to explain it (I mean, we did raise them so it makes sense that we e turned them into people we enjoy spending time with).[/quote]
Great. Congrats on being superior people to the rest of us, I guess. So happy for you![/quote]

I don’t think we are superior but you or pp kept pressing like, how can this be??? Like it’s unheard of for parents to genuinely enjoy their own children.[/quote]

People who vacation without their kids do not NOT enjoy their kids. They just also like adult time. I'm a wholly formed person outside of my children. Thanks! [b]I do girl trips without my husband too.[/b] GASP! I must not like him!! (eye roll)[/quote]

Right! I take trips with my whole family, I take trips with my husband without our kids. I do girl trips without my husband or kids. I have done trips with my kids, my sister and my sisters kids without our husbands. And oddly enough I LOVE everyone I've left behind on vacation. Shocker! [/quote]
