[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are definitely considered in the upper class bracket based on income, but I want my children to have modest summer trips like I did growing up. We go to VA beach for a few days and stay right on the water with beach views— pricey but it’s 3 nights max. This is the only travel we do in summer. They’re surrounded by their friends who jet set all over Europe and even go exotic places during the school year, and yes it makes them jealous, but my husband don’t think they are going to enjoy it enough to make the expense worth it. They can travel the world when they’re older if that’s what they want to do. I’d much rather invest our money in things that matter to us now, like house improvements. I think traveling with kids is a huge pain in the butt with very little return unless your kids are truly into other cultures and appreciating history.[/quote]

It depends on the age of the kids and their temperaments.

As a teacher and someone from a huge extended family, I see a considerable difference in the perspectives of kids who’ve visited another country and those who haven’t (regardless of family income). [/quote]
