[quote=Anonymous]Don’t respond, don’t apologize and don’t defend your choices. It’s your family and you get to go on any vacations you want. Change the subject and quickly say you need to go when she starts. Hang up the phone. We grew up poor but my parents LOVED vacations. As kids, we did too and got so excited because they were excited. We always went on yearly vacations. Now, that might have been a day drive to a local lake where we had a picnic or on a really good where they were able to save, one night in a cheap motel near that lake. We never ate in a restaurant. But we loved it and they instilled in us a love for vacation. We are UMC now and all I have is happy summer memories of my childhood. We have taken my children all over the world, different types of vacations than I had, but hopefully they have a yearly love of vacation too. That’s what matters. [/quote]
