[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It had been a while since DCUM made me lose all faith in humanity.  So the quick rundown:[/b]

DH suggests a vacation with family friends that have younger children. OP says that seems like a bad idea because the other kids will ruin it.  DH says you are being antisocial because you don't want to bond with our friends.

DCUM: DH is an abusive, adulterous, absentee dad.

Seriously, what the hell is this thread?  The short answer is nobody knows this family.  Could it be a nightmare? Of course. That would be true regardless of the age of the children.  Good friends sometimes make terrible traveling companions.  Sometimes, two families don't blend well on vacation for any number of reasons.  Here are few areas that have cause friction on my vacations:

Budget (even if you agree on accommodations and a general plan of activities, is your friend the type that is obsessed with coupons jumping through six hoops to save $20? Are you?)
Schedule- Are you the type that plans 100 things in a day or the type that doesn't want to think about doing anything until 10:30?
Parenting- (Does it suck to be around them because they are super strict and you feel bad about it?  Or are the kids just little monsters?  Do they do things that make you uncomfortable, like drink more than you think is appropriate with small kids around?)

Regardless, somebody needs therapy.  I don't know how we got to page 6 without someone suggesting full neuropysch screening, probably best to just schedule all them, but only after the divorce, because, after all, I read between the lines to see the abuse and obvious affair.

Here are my list of actual concerns:

I'm surprised the bolded doesn't happen more often if this typically how you interpret threads. Much of your "quick rundown" isn't really here and is quite the stretch on your part. Get some help with your reading comprehension skills, maybe. I don't know.

All OP really needs to know is do the dads plans to help with childcare, or not. Pretty simple.[/quote]
