[quote=Anonymous]I'll bite. We go on a vacation to a beach with friends almost every year. It's been roughly the same 5 families since before we had kids (a few were single, and now have married). Been happening for over 10 years now. It helps to have a meal planning spreadsheet, where people are responsible for certain meals. And we have learned to keep the first and last night as takeout/leftover nights, respectively. Everyone who goes is also a pretty great human, so we all cut each other a lot of slack, don't mind when a family wants to do their own thing, don't mind another family's kid tagging along if someone has to stay behind with the napping kids, etc. So far kids have gotten along well. We will re-evaluate if the need ever arises.

But we don't stay up drinking all night like we did pre-kids. The adults might have a drink or two after the kids go to bed, or make a cocktail with dinner. It seems like you are describing a husband problem, not a families-who-vacation-together problem.
