[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the hell would adult children with their own fiancés want to spend vacation time with their parents’ friends and their children? I thought you were going to be telling a story about ten year olds and tweens not being into it. Your children are adults and surely would prefer to pick who they vacation with. I would have been surly too, if I was being asked to spend all my meals with other random adults I was not friends with. What were the circumstances of your kids coming? Did you ask as them to do you a favor where you would pay for it? And they didn’t realize how much of it would be spending time as a big group with the other families?

The whole thing just seems utterly bizarre that 31 year old children would be part of a “families” vacation organized by the parent generation[/quote]

+1. WTF, OP. Is this the post-middle age version of keeping up with the Jones?  Let’s force my adult kids and their family to ski with strangers so we can all decide who is more lovely and perfect?  Are you a troll?  Have you lived your entire life like this?  Your poor children. [/quote]

absolutely not. They could have said no. They said yes. No one forced anyone. And for the record, for the skiing, we are all different levels. My kids are all experts so went of on their own most of the time. Most of others were beginner or intermediate skiers. Lived my entire life like what? Your message is BIZARRE.[/quote]

I’m assuming you’re a troll but my question is whether you have lived your entire life vacationing or socializing with acquaintances ( and forcing your kids to do so too) just so you can keep up appearances and remind everyone ( and perhaps yourself) just how wonderful you all are?  [/quote]
