Just leave them home if you cannot be bothered.

What if…and, you might want to sit down for this, because it might blow your mind, but what if… your 12 year old WANTED to stay in the room?

My 12 year old always wants to come with us but it’s a nonissue as they know the answer is no. We all stay or all go.

NP. I'm glad that works for you. My kids sometimes don't want to come with us, and I'm not a martyr, so I'm fine with it.

Then you all stay home.

We texted/called/FaceTimed while we were gone and she was so much happier. It was a one bedroom suite with kitchen so she had everything she needed. I had zero problem with it.

Can’t be bothered with what?? Having my kids with me 24/7 on vacation? We like having options. Yeah, my kids didn’t want to have a nice dinner downstairs. They wanted to stay inside and have movies. They aren’t attached at our hip and dont cry or pine for us at all times. They actually like that we go out and have our own time and give them some independent time. What the hell is wrong with some of you?
