[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might be that his wife's family likes SPENDING TIME TOGETHER, whereas your focus seems to be having your dad TAKE YOU on a vacation.

Do you want to go on a vacation and spend time with your dad AND his wife?[/quote]

No, it isn't that at all. My dad has never taken us on vacation. When my siblings and I were little (before my parents divorced), our grandparents used to take us on vacations together as a family and those were good memories. My siblings and I like spending time with my dad, but it's hard when his wife is around. She sours everything.[/quote]

Sure she does.  You just sound like a money hungry brat.  Have you ever even talked to your dad about this?  Doesn't sound like it[/quote]

Your comment almost isn't even worth responding to. I'm not money hungry. My dad inherited from my grandparents and that money is in an irrevocable trust. 
His wife has never had to work. I don't ask about the money. I don't even care if we all go on vacation together as a family, but it's hurtful that he chooses to do this stuff with her kids and not us. We all have a good relationship with my dad. If he goes to visit any of us (he hasn't visited me yet in my new home), then he never brings his wife because she chooses not to come. She has always been this way. She's into her kids, not us. But my dad makes an effort with her kids.[/quote]
