[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel has become a “bigger” part of life, particularly for middle and upper middle class, during the last 10-15 years. I don’t think the cultural shift should be viewed negatively like OP suggests.  There is no point pining for the way of the world in 1985. Things change. It’s okay. Book a trip. [/quote]
I don’t really want to, I don’t find long connecting international flights with my annoying kids appealing, sorry. I would rather go to the nearest beach alone and just enjoy quiet and solitude. However, when I socialize with others I tend to be viewed as an outcast or weirdo if I state my true feelings, so I decide to just politely listen to all of their travel adventures. My kids hear about friends going abroad and want to know why we don’t go. I simply don’t want to, I have already and am old and tired. It’s anticlimactic now, it’s more of a nuisance than anything.[/quote]

Your problem, not other people's problems. Trust me when I say no one cares if you aren't traveling and people aren't judging you for not going to Europe.

You can send your kids on travel programs and school travel groups if you want to do that. When they're older they can travel on their own dime. [/quote]
