[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only vacation with friends who have similar aged kids as ours (and same number of kids). Everyone pitches in and the kids can play together requiring minimal supervision. Even still, the mom of the youngest will often be left out of the fun b/c the nature of taking care of children.

This will be a hard no for me. I don't know what your H is thinking. Is the other family offering free lodging or some carrots? Even then I would not take it. It will be chaotic and stressful.  [/quote]

Agree. I've done multifamily, multikid vacations, and they're great if the ages and personalities of the kids overlap/mesh. It was one of our best vacations ever.

But this?

Their kids are likely to worship your kids, because big kids are the coolest. And that can be fun for a day or two, but at some point your kids are going to want to do their thing with their parents, not be good sports for some younger strangers. Even if you were willing to ruin your own vacation, don't ruin your kids'.[/quote]
