[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting.

I am 42 with DH and two kids, 10 and 5.

We cover all expenses of my parents and inlaws when they occasionally vacation with us.

When my kids are self-supporting adults i hope they want to see us enough that they will say yes and even initiate vacations together and pay their way. We would, of course, help pay if they want to go on a vacation together and $ is the only reason they are not able to do so, but I would feel so bad if they do not want to vacation with us unless we pay...

Naive?[/quote]

Yes, it’s pretty naive to think that your future son or daughter in law is going to want to spend their limited vacation time and money accommodating your preferences. [/quote]

Well, when you put it like that…

I see it more as “hey let’s go to place x sometime. Would you guys be interested or would you rather go to y or another place? What are some good dates?” Ie I hope that all parties are interested in doing something together once in a while…[/quote]
