[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this really depends on what type of vacation it is. Staying at a beach resort? No big deal as long as the DH can at least occasionally be open to change (if say, the only available  slot for the boat tour or whatever is at 2pm or something). Otherwise who cares- the rest of the family can continue to hang out at the pool or beach, find another activity around the resort or also take some downtime in the rooms etc. However, if it is a more active vacation with excursions or sightseeing plans this would be a total PITA on some days and really limit things for the rest of the family.

Or on an active vacation, DH can go back to the hotel and they can continue to paddle board or walk around a European city or whatever.[/quote]

DH has decided he won't allow his family to do what they want. Play with the scenario all you want, the OP doesn't need advice on how to accommodate a lazy vacationer, the point is he's disrupting and he doesn't care. [/quote]
You really seem to be projecting. OP didnt say anything about "not allowing" his family to do what they want. In fact, it sounds like he may encourage them to do what they want while he gets his nap in! Why are you so hell bent on twisting this post to fit your narrative?[/quote]

Let's review the tape... OP wrote in her original post:

[b]It’s unfair because the options are to hang back at the hotel and wait, or head out on an experience that they want to enjoy with dad[/b]

OP also wrote in her original post:

[b]Whenever we go on vacation, he expects and anticipates napping mid-day,
[/b]
in her second followup post she wrote:

[b]This is a two-hour nap every day or he’s crabby like a toddler.
[/b]
In her third post, she wrote:

[b]OP again: Somehow he can get through a work day, a round of golf and drinks at the club, etc etc, without this nap.[/b]

OP is making it VERY clear that DH is making a choice to "nap" for 2+ hours during prime-time for activities for his children and he "expects" it and "crabby like a toddler" if he doesn't get his way.

His kids just want to do fun things with him and he's angry when he can't "nap" for 2+ hours with his phone, OnlyFans and locked hotel room. [/quote]

That's because his normal life is not spending 24/7 with these kids so he needs a break to recharge. Why are they planning activities RIGHT at the time instead of scheduling the day so that the activities are before and after the nap? Stop fighting the tide and flow with it. [/quote]

If you don’t understand why 2-4pm is an inconvenient time for one partner to refuse to participate in family activities this conversation isn’t going to help you understand. [/quote]
