[quote=Anonymous]We've traveled a good amount with our kids even when they were young. I do think you have to be .ore thoughtful in your approach when you travel with kids. Really take the time to think about the type of vacation you want and balance it with the temperament of your kids and what help you might need. For some people that's an all-inclusive and for others that's a vacation in a city. I would only do a beach house if we were traveling with multiple families that we wanted to spend time with. Then you are sharing the responsibilities with multiple adults and are able to hang out when the kids go to bed (which mine did at 7 at that age). My DH and I also make sure we each get breaks from childcare duty to do things we really like to do so it can feel like a vacation.

My sibling just invited us to spend winter break in a beautiful destination where they paid for a huge house rental. Sounds great? Nope. It requires a 3 hr time change for my kids and they will have to share a room with their cousins who are very temperamental which means they won't sleep well. My SIL goes to bed early so there's not much hanging out post bedtime and I wouldnt have the option of hiring a babysitter for an evening so my.husband and I could really enjoy an evening out. So this free vacation is one I'm not doing. Instead we're paying to go to the Caribbean to a 5 star resort with a kids club. I know that will work better for my family.[/quote]
