[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had the opposite experience - my 5-year-old and I went to the beach for a week with some child-free friends.  It was their idea.  We shared a condo and had a fabulous time.  I had a lot more fun than I would have had alone with my daughter (I'm a single mom.)  Daughter loved having 3 adults to pay attention to her, they were able to hang with her while I went for daily runs, and the only mealtime concession we had to make was making sure we didn't have a long wait for a table.  (so once we had to push off a restaurant till another day, but they didn't care.)

We will probably go away with them again.

So maybe in a few years, this plan will work better?[/quote]

Your child is 5. That is a huge difference. I have 2 kids - ages 3 and 5. My 5yo is a dream. Extremely well behaved and fun to be around.3yo is a disaster. He was a handful at age 2 and is worse now that he is 3. I rarely even have people over now due to his tantrums. I would never travel with others with him. Hoping things will improve when he is 4.[/quote]
