[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you even have kids?[/quote]

To wait 30 years to take a solo vacation 🙄[/quote]

Why are you so bad at math? What happened here?[/quote]

Nope. BC you’ll drag your adult kids along on vacation as well.

Try harder [/quote]

DP but ... who cares if they do? Maybe they like doing that. How does this impact you?

Separately, numerous people have explained that like OP's spouse, they didn't have anyone to leave young kids with so didn't travel without them for years, but most people have explained that by the time kids were 8 or 9, they were doing camp or could reasonably stay with relatives who couldn't handle younger kids. So assuming 2-3 kids fairly close in age, your looking at 10-12 years. Not 30. And in the meantime you can have date nights, bring a nanny on vacation, go to resorts with kids clubs, etc. So you can still find ways to get alone time with your spouse.

It's just bizarre to me that some of you think unless a person is willing to leave their toddler for a week with an aging grandparent or a sitter, your marriage will simply wither on the vine. It won't, unless you let it. Being very pessimistic and fatalistic about the reality of parenting young kids won't help though.[/quote]
