[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of three girls too, and one of us doesn't have children, and I'm team single sister. She seems to be willing to throw money at the two of you to spend time togther. She's not asking you to leave your kids, or pay for yourselves, she's just asking you to show up.

I have 3 kids and recognize that traveling with them isn't easy, in fact I used to just call it taking the show on the road, and felt like I'd rather just be home on many a family trip - but that's when we were paying for the trip ourselves. This scenario is not that.

And the older kids not wanting to take a vacation lest they miss time with friends? Whatever. That's either allowing the tail to wag the dog or those kids are being used as a scapegoat. Families typically vacation over the summer so it's not outside of normative behavior for a teen to leave town with their family for a week or so. It's not that big of a deal and if it is your sister has bigger parenting problems.

You two are telling each other that single sister is wrong and that she just doesn't understand, but it sounds like she's trying to make it work and you guys are just bad sisters. [/quote]
