[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 695128, member: 1233"] My mother has talked about this since my oldest was born. She wanted to get a good size RV and travel around the country with my kids, any my bro had and pick up all the kids of her nieces and nephews. I will NEVER forget the look on my father's face the first time he heard this. He was flat out horrified, lol. Of course he spent his entire career teaching jr high and did, at least once, get hives after spending a few days of his winter break at home with us and Mom when I was little. Of course the kids were all toddlers and younger at that time and he couldn't handle more than an hour or two with them. If my dad babysat, husband and I could do a nice dinner or fast food and a movie, but not a nice meal and a movie. She still hasn't gotten the RV, or even many trips with my dad. They have done England/Europe a few times, but each time she comes home swearing that next time they can go separately. I don't think he has even the smallest clue though,lol! My dad never was very 'trip friendly' though. Heck, my mom still goes to visit his side of the family without him, and the rest of us find it hilarious - family joke from a very long time ago. I don't know if my husband would be fond of that. He is too tech dependent and without wifi access for long starts to worry about all sorts of things. I might enjoy it. It would be a way of seeing sites with-o having to spend too much time outside, maybe. I didn't use to mind being outside but now outside doesn't like me - my body sort of has meltdowns of many sorts due to allergies to darn near everything. But I love road trips. Who knows, maybe they will come up with an allergy medication that works and outside won't hate me so much. [/QUOTE]
