[quote=Anonymous]Op, when you travel with kids, you need to adapt to the kids. Period. You can’t blame your dil. Yes, you may have raised your kids differently (I hear that ALL the time) but her kids are not the same as your kids. Forget the whole showering before breakfast idea which is just ridiculous on vacation. It isn’t like you are at Disney and need to get to one of the parks for extra hours. You’re at a resort. If you are going fishing on a boat and you end up fishing for 3 hours instead of 4, does it really matter as long as the kids aren’t crabby? If you expected them to be showered and dressed at 8 to eat so they could play this game at 9 and then go play another game at 10 and then do something else at 11, I know my kids would have gone nuts at that age. My kids needed a lot of down time and did not thrive on a lot of activity. Clearly, you do. Go find an “activity” to do while they are showering so you feel you are getting your money’s worth from the trip. And how many times have you mentioned to them that you are treating? I bet they would rather take no vacation than a vacation with these judgments. [/quote]
