[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one should be around their spouse + kids as much as we've experienced the past 2 years. [b]Familiarity breeds contempt[/b]. I'm taking a solo trip in February with a couple friends. I haven't been this excited in years.[/quote] No, it doesn't. It's what you bring to the relationship that breeds contempt. I've got 3 kids at home (ages 16-20) and a DH. While we, at times, struggled with everyone being online for school and work, we know how to live together comfortably and cooperatively. Sure, there are sometimes issues but nothing that comes close to contempt. FWIW, 2 kids (boys 16/20) share a room and all 3 kids share a single bathroom. DH and I share a bed/bathroom. We, clearly, don't have a large house where everyone has their own space. Learning to live with others is a life skill. [/quote] Wow. Sounds like you saved it all for strangers on the internet.
