[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been going to the beach in SC for the years and the price has held steady. Three bedroom/three bath condo about 10 minutes from the beach (on the golf course) is around $1000 for 5 nights. It's worth driving south for a cheaper vacation. It's probably 4 tanks of gas for us (around $140).[/quote]

10 minutes from the beach is cheap in Rehoboth too.  The problem is that ten minutes from the beach is not much fun - you still have to pack up all your stuff, deal with cranky kids, drive to the beach, find a place to park - it’s a hassle.  You need to be within a block or two of the beach - otherwise, what’s the point?[/quote]

You are just spoiled and lazy. Make your kids help carrying their own stuff. [/quote]

Right, because the point of going on vacation and to work hard and fight with your children about their regimen. [/quote]

NP here. From a very young age (4/5 I think) my kids have had their own backpack for pool/beach. In it they have their towel, goggles, water bottle, any toys they wanted, and a snack. My kids were responsible for putting their goggles back in the front pocket of their backpack immediately when they got back to the chairs. It took constant reminders when they first summer, but after that, they were on their own. Consequently, they’ve never lost their goggles (and they are swim team kids, so they spend a lot of time at the pool). They don’t lose their towels or water bottles either and yes one of them has adhd. I don’t think giving kids responsibility for their things has to be a fight. Start young and make it an expectation for your family. Then when you go to the beach (which we do once a year) parents don’t have to lug as much AND your kids have personal responsibility for their things. It’s a win win in my opinion! [/quote]
