[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sounds very type A. OPs dh less so. I'd be surprised if the kids actually enjoy non-stop activities, especially with their parents. [/quote]

Well, he doesn't nap when the activity interests him. So, I don't think the problem is that it's "non-stop activities", it's just activities he doesn't care about.[/quote]

Their job is to plan vacations that work for everyone. Sounds like both parents are failing.

Anybody in the family should be able to opt out some - not all -activities they don't care about.  They aren't conjoined quadruplets. [/quote]

Well... parents don't get to opt out. They're stuck with the job. [/quote][/quote]

I don't disagree with that. [b]Mom and kids think they're getting fun active vacations, Dad thinks he's taking naps[/b].

I mean, none of my family vacations go the way I want them to. But, you know, that's what I signed up for. :([/quote]

There is a way to accommodate both, but neither parent seems to want to do that.  OP wants 24/7 go-go-go togetherness and DH wants a daily nap on a rigid schedule.  [/quote]

Well, we don't know that OP wants 24/7 go-go-go togetherness, but we do know that there are important things she plans for midday at least some of the time. DH has that rigid schedule. It seems easier for one to compromise than the other. [/quote]
We do know that's what OP wants, because that's what OP says. Why can't both parties compromise? [/quote]

Well, she says that he demands his nap every day and it has to be 2+ hours. She could be just asking for one day of activity. The [b]only thing we know is that he has a rigid schedule for the activity that involves only himself and it can't be adjusted.[/b][/quote]
Again, it literally does not say this, you are assuming and projecting. [/quote]
