[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 595553, member: 15473"] Thanks guys! We have done several family vacations together and while they have always gone well I wind up doing the majority of the cooking and cleaning and things like that. Plus my mother has so many limitations we usually wind up not being able to do things we want to do. For years my family and husband's family have expected us to spend our vacation days at their homes during Christmas or holidays and have suggested family vacations during spring break or summer. None of them seem to realize that I get a limited number of vacation days a year and when dealing with being an Army wife i tend to blow those on dr appts for difficult child and easy child. I can't remember the last time I was able to take a week of paid vacation. Honestly I can say I don't think I have ever had one the only times I have taken a week have been between jobs or when the military moves us. As for family vacations with husband and the kids I think we took one several years ago back when difficult child was in 7th grade. I was really considering staying separate and meeting them for specific activities so that we could do some of the things we want as well as spend the obligatory time with them. I don't want easy child to feel like she has to stay with us or that she has to stay with them I want her to make that decision. If I were a kid I know I would have rather stayed with my sister and my cool uncle and my grands than spend the nights in a hotel with my parents. LOL I think I will call my brother and tell him to plan the trip for them and that we will come but stay in a separate location. [/QUOTE]
