[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the posters are overreacting.  My parents divorced when I was little and my dad remarried and had 2 more kids.  I visited him and sometimes went on vacations like the beach with them.  A few times they went on big vacations like Hawaii and Disney and I didn't go.  I was old enough to understand that my dad was allowed to vacation with his other kids without taking me.  I didn't feel left out.  My mom took me on vacations too so honestly, I ended up going on vacation twice most years.  I wouldn't take a 3 yr old to Disney myself.  I'd wait a few years until the kid could actually remember the trip and by then, the older kids won't be interested anyway.[/quote]

These kids live with the dad. They spend as much time with dad as they do with mom. They don't "visit".  If your mom, the parent you lived with, had done this would you have felt the same way?

If the family can afford to spend 3 members to Disney, then the two obvious ones are the two older kids.  Dad is the obvious parent.  Does that feel slightly unfair OP?  Because it's far less fair than what you're proposing.  [/quote]
