[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big families aren’t all they are cracked up to be. Everyone talks about someone else.  Lots of snark.  Tough to even get through a holiday.  Some demand the same holiday.  There are cheapskates that don’t pay. They are takers.  There is selfishness, annoyances, and hurtful comments.  With having only one child we can pay for lavish getaways and go and stay where we want. We don’t have to please others.  We plan the trips that we want. The in-fighting and banter is nonexistent.  It’s SO relaxing and we are able to shift around and see and explore the world. No one is making us pay their way. No one is dictating where we go or what we eat. Trust me, the big families have a lot of problems.  There are also a lot of funerals to attend as well. [/quote]

We have done beach house rentals with my in-laws (SIL, who is my husband's sister, BIL, their four children, and MIL and FIL) and with friends. The "vacations" (I can't call them that since they weren't remotely relaxing with the in-laws were always awful. Vacations with friends have been awesome. [/quote]
