[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t stay in a hotel room with my kids from the time my oldest was born until my youngest was 5, so 8 years total. We only stayed in vacation rentals or visited family/friends in their homes. We also didn’t leave the time zone and didn’t go any further than FL or NY.

My kids were both excellent sleepers but they didn’t sleep well in car seats and they didn’t fall asleep well with other people in the room (like if we all shared a hotel.) So I didn’t want to mess with that because otherwise their sleep was excellent and DH and I got lots of downtime as long as we held onto the sleep schedule. During those years, the best trips were to beachfront condos/houses, eating easy food mostly in the rental, maybe going out to lunch. [b]We didn’t really eat dinner out because the kids went to bed at 7pm and we started getting them ready at 6:15. [/b]

They are teens now and we travel all over. It’s just a season of life and I remember it very fondly. [/quote]

Kids are the worst. Imagine going on vacation and not even being able to go out to eat with your husband.

No wonder women are increasingly opting out of having kids. [/quote]

Not my feeling at all. Eating good takeout on a balcony over looking the water while the babies sleep blissfully inside. Babies you hoped and prayed and waited for. Sitting next to the person you love and who also loves the babies? Priceless. [/quote]

LOL -not everyone has babies who will sleep blissfully like yours…no matter how wanted those babies wer. Count yourself lucky, and stop thinking this is the norm for everyone else. I had one baby who was like yours, and one who was terror when traveling.[/quote]

I was replying to someone who said “kids are the worst” because they can’t eat dinner at a restaurant. Really?[/quote]
