[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We stopped family vacations after graduating college. I grew up wealthy and most of our family vacations were cross country or international. When I graduated at 22 I didn't have money to be able to go with everyone else so I stopped. I didn't have enough money to fly home for Christmas either.

Now that I'm older and married I travel with my parents often. We normally do a big trip with them once a year, but we pay for ourselves. My siblings don't have the money so they don't come with us.[/quote]

WHy didn't your parents pay when you were just getting on your own feet?
WHy don't they pay occasionally for your siblings to go now? [/quote]

Yeah I think that's weird for wealthy parents to essentially exclude people who can't afford it.[/quote]

This is the pp. Parents don't give us any money apart from birthday/Christmas gifts. I'm not sure I would do any different with my kids once they've graduated college. My parents think struggling makes you hustle more to get what you really want in life.

I'm a tad resentful of how I couldn't afford plane tickets home for Christmas and spent a few alone by myself. When I was in my mid 20s I started driving with my DH to his parents. Parents are pretty jealous of that. But inlaws are 2 hours away, my parents are 18 hours away. [/quote]
