Yes, you do it so your kids can have someone to socialize with.  Your plan with extra kids seems silly.  That makes no sense.  So, if you don't do it for your kids then you are doing it to show off and reduce other kids who you think cannot do what you do.[/quote]

Wouldn’t your kids have YOU to socialize with? I’m genuinely intrigued by this practice as it wasn’t my experience of traveling when I was a kid or teen, I went on vacation with my family and we hung out with each other.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, as a moody teen who always felt misunderstood, I’d definitely have loved to hang out with a friend instead, but the vacations were still fun and ended up being great bonding experiences, both with my parents and my siblings. And yielded some amazing stories that we still tell twenty years later.

You can do both, bond with family while having a friend there.  It is especially nice to have a friend of an only child come.  As parents of an only it is also nice to have a friend come.[/quote]
NP and some of my fondest memories are going on vacation with my friend (the youngest of 3 sisters) and only one parent could make it or when my friend would go on vacation with us (and I have close aged sibling). These were weekend type of trips not more than 2-3 days. But then growing up my vacations were short trips unless we were visiting family. [/quote]
