[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is like this but I don’t judge him for it.  I take the kids for ice cream and let them run around a town square while I sit with a glass of wine and a book, or we go to the pool.  Or they also chill and play video games for 2 hours if they want while I read on a terrace.  It’s fun![/quote]

Sounds like you have less ambitious vacation plans, which is fine. It sounds like you and your DH are on the same page about how vacations go. I think the issue is OP's DH has decided what kind of vacation HE is having, and everyone else can really just eff off, because he doesn't care what they want.[/quote]

It honestly sounds to me like OP has decided she wants to go-go-go on vacation and is mad her DH doesn’t.  I doubt the kids love slogging around.  Usually we have 1-2 slog days when driving from place to place, etc. and everyone sucks it up because they know tomorrow will be better, [b]but constant pushing isn’t enjoyable for anyone.[/b][/quote]

Like I said, sounds like you're not a super ambitious person. That's fine. Make sure your spouse has similar low ambitions and it'll be fine. And look, if you've spent $250 a night to go to the Jellystone Park in Williamsport, sure... don't do anything. But if you've flown your kids to Greece or Cabo, put in the effort, otherwise what's the point?[/quote]
