[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this were me, I would plan outings during his nap. If you’re on a week long vacation, you’re getting plenty of time together besides those two hours he naps. So yeah—either everyone gets a 2 hour afternoon “quiet time” to do with what they want (reading and napping sounds lovely to me) or you plan something and stop being upset that he doesn’t come with you. That’s his loss! The did will be fine that he doesn’t come, do they care that much or do YOU care?[/quote] This is really the best compromise. All the rabid anti-nappers don't seem to understand that not everyone wants to be attached at the hip for our entire vacation. Kids included![/quote] In this case, it's the kids wanting to spend time with their problem, which is apparently the problem. The kids want to do things with him. He doesn't want to do things with them.[/quote] And they are! For most of the day, every day. I bet some people spend an hour or two showering and getting ready for dinner every night, how dare you deprive your children of that quality time![/quote] I don’t know about showering because two hours seems like an awfully long time but in terms of cooking I am awake and available and can talk to my family and spend time with them while I prep dinner and make dinner. So I don’t think those two are equivalent. [/quote]
