[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are way younger (4 and 6) and I still do this. I am already thinking about when each kid will start sleepaway camp, which is several years out. And assuming they like it, that limits our summers basically for the rest of their childhood. Summers are SO short and so precious, I want to make sure I am really thinking about how we want to spend them.

There are a few bucket list trips I want to take the kids on, but - for example - our 2025 trips are already all completely locked in, just due to family stuff and a specific trip a friend wanted us to take, so it feels like if I don't really think proactively about this, we'll run out of the time to do the trips we want to do. And some trips are better suited to spring, or winter, so I keep that in the back of my mind as well.

I am also very aware that life happens and plans change, but I just want to minimize regrets, I guess. I'm like this about a lot of things in life and tbh it's served me well. It's easy for me to think in terms of years and decades. My H is the opposite, it's hard for him to imagine anything more than 6 months out. Both approaches have their pros and cons. [/quote]
