She's cheating. Sorry. If she suddenly wanted sex, it means someone else is turning her on and doing it. Her sexual appetite was reawakened. You didn't do it, but now you're there and convenient. Be sure you wrap your rascal.

Only if the kids are at Sleepaway camp.

There are no vacations with children, only trips. So this question is non-responsive to the question.

Know it can depend on different factors.

spouse is a nervous flyer, so seldom on the table because of anxiety to return home...has totally killed so many aspects of my pre-wedded life.

DW definitely gets a facial on vacation.

But a 3 and 5yo are so much more work than older kids! When my kids were little my parents had the energy and capacity to care for them. Now my kids are teens and my parents don’t have the energy for little kids but my kids now just need company, rides and dinners. My parents can do that and are happy to.

3 and 5 year old are exactly what my mom enjoys: take them to any old playground, put on an ancient Disney movie, get out the Playdoh and they’re happy. They’re now 9 and 11 and want to do things like mini golf that cost money (not that she can’t afford it, but her ideas of what things should cost are 30 year old) or go to a movie that my moms not interested in.

This is why we don't stay at B&Bs with shared walls or floors. A separate cabin on property is fine.

That is the turn on for my wife. Whenever we have a male friend staying with us overnight, wife is ready and very loud.

I would take it up a notch and invite the friend over.

Agree with this, and I say this as someone who had little to no sex on vacation. It was a sign our marriage was in trouble. Still married and still in a frequency of 1x a month or so, but at least now I have zero expectations on vacation.

Even typing that last sentence makes me sad.

This is almost certainly one of the top 3 reasons why many parents send their kids to sleep-away camps during the summer.

I know the feeling! My parents retired from covering on vacation as our kids wore them out. I’m not surprised. Now we pay a small fortune and it’s worth it.

Love this!
Our college age child just finished babysitting for a family for a week.

Parents enjoyed their kid free vacation.
