[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine vacationing with parents once you leave home.  If there were some sort of once-off like a Grand Trip to Asia or a 50th Anniversary or a destination wedding, that's one thing.  But routinely paying for your adult working children to vacation with you?  That's insane and your kids are taking advantage of you, and you shouldn't offer.[/quote]

I agree.

[b]And on the flip side, it puts a lot of pressure and control over married children and their spouses who might rather do other things for vacation than spend all their days off travelling with the in laws.[/b]

It should definitely stop once your kids are married because whether your kid shares this with you or not, tyese vacations tend to put a lot of stress on marriages.

[b]Once your kids are married you need to save these vacations for big, milestone events, NOT regular or yearly obligations.[/b][/quote]

Vacation time is so scarce, especially (for example) if someone works for themselves.  And BTW, (for another example) OBX is *not* a vacation to many people.  There are plenty of other places to see - and so little vacation time available, really.  Your idea of vacation is not everyone's idea of vacation - I can't say it enough.

Once your children have their own families, they really would rather vacation with their new families, instead of falling into the old family dysfunction - even if they don't admit it to your face. Time to let the idea of extended family vacation go, once your children are married, for sure.  [/quote]
