[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12 was the hardest age. Kid thinks they know everything, won't help wtih anything, only wats to do what they want to do.

Kid is 15 now, and ven they will tell you they ruined the Hawaii vacation.[/quote]
I have an 11 year old and can see this coming. They’re too old for kid stuff -don’t appreciate adult stuff the same way. My kid loves museums but after 1-2 he’s done, doesn’t want to dig on the beach for hours, hikes are less enjoyable. We try to do a 1:1 parents pick, kid pick but sometimes he struggles to find stuff (unless it’s baseball season)[/quote]

My 12 year old isn’t a particularly fun traveler (creature of habit, not as flexible as my other kids.. My kids, though, when they were 9 months to 2 years…I stopped traveling. Meeting the needs of a toddler took away a lot of the fun of travel for me. At least if my 12 year old sulks, when he looks back on the trip, he clearly learning and appreciated it -he was just a pain in the a$$ at the moment.[/quote]
