I agree with Alyssa .. Vacation is staying at a resort / hotel not with family . If you wait any longer to take your kids to vacation after they grow up it will be too late for poor Allie !

Why not? A vacation is what you make it

@Marycea1900 Ай бұрын

Also, John wanting to wait until the children are older is crazy. There are so many great vacations you could do as a family now. Also, your kids are a wide age range. If you wait until Rhett is older, Ali will be a teenager. You will be missing out on so many family memories.

Yes, Alyssa is right. When we were kids the only time we went anywhere was to visit family. Our time was dictated by what the family is doing. A vacation is going to a destination for the destination, not to visit family.

Word to the wise that I wouldn’t spend money on experience vacation wait until they’re 5. I was amazed ADHD child made it to Cancun at age 5 or 6. I would imagine that the older girls would love time with mom and dad. A vacation could be as simple as renting a like beach air b&b. Being in the middle of the USA we like to rent out lakeside cabins John; sorry but Alyssa is right.

I asked my entire family, and we all agree, you have only been on family trips. A family vacation is VERY different!! Alyssa did a very good job explaining the difference between the two. This isn't even a gray area, this discussion is very black and white when when differentiating between a family trip and a family vacation. We love you and your family. You are the best mom ever, Alyssa! 💗

Hi John, hi Alyssa, it’s aunt Christi. I’m Gill‘s third cousin twice removed (in my head) I’m here to weigh in on the topic of defining a vacation As a woman who has been married for 33 years, I have some pretty solid opinions about vacations When my husband worked for United States border patrol, he was at work, literally all the time. If he got more than three days off together, we would have to do the absolute most with it. And because we lived away from both of our families, and we were the couple with no little kids, we were always the ones to travel and see everybody Technically, at work that time is called vacation time and yes, technically we did leave town and go someplace. And technically, we would plan fun little things to do here and there during those travel trips, but the trips themselves had a dual purpose. As obligatory family commitments. It took us 23 years to finally treat ourselves to a real actual “leisure“ vacation with no other agendas, besides disconnecting from the daily stress and being at ease As a woman for me, that means staying somewhere that I am treated. I love a hotel or a resort. For me, it is such a treat to be in a nice space that I am not responsible for cooking anything, cleaning anything, And doing all of those things that I do every single day at home. Which is why I have always resisted the urge that many of my peers have given into of buying or even renting a motorhome for vacations. This is a trap, Alyssa. Basically, you’re just going to be doing the exact same full list of chores as you do at home only with different scenery out the window. This is not a vacation for you at all. Please take me to a hotel with complementary clean towels that I don’t have to wash. Extra pillows that I can pile as high as my little heart desires. Delicious food that I don’t have to plan the meal shop for the ingredients prepare the meal, do the dishes, etc. etc. etc. For a woman, these are only a couple of examples of a true vacation.

Mom of 5 kids here, I 100% wanted each and everyone and would have more if I could 😅 but there are negatives sometimes and the biggest one is being needed by them all constantly, and not always being able to meet the needs the way I want. It’s dividing myself by 5 and always wanting to give more and be more for each child. Honestly my biggest reason for being done, it’s hard to be stretched thin. Also why I think bates family is so interesting to people, Kelly jo and Gil seem so good at being there for all their kids and I’m in awe of that.

@sandycalhoun9496 Ай бұрын

Being a Sr. Gran, I have moved several times in my life. If you have a comfortable size home, my advice is to stay put. Aside from housing market being way too expensive, you will blink + your kids will be leaving the nest. Comes so, so fast. Do those family vacations at appropriate time making lifetime memories. Middle age happens + mild health things start to appear such as a bad knee etc. You will become inlaws + Grandparents...life will continue to be very busy + you dont want a huge house to take care of + maintain. -Another tip... keep things decluttered thru life...your so organized Alyssa I imagine you already do. So many people rent storage units...why? Stuff just sits there. A rambling Sr. 😀

@LAnnMcK Ай бұрын

Just a thought.... Take the three oldest on a mini vacation (3-4 days) and let the 2 youngest stay with family. (Like Dollywood, Seaworld, etc...) The oldest will prize those memories and the two little ones will love the extra attention. All to often I see older children as adults say they felt like they missed out on doing things because of their younger siblings. It is surprising to see how this influences their life choices as adults... It sticks with them.

@SkySilver777 Ай бұрын

as far as the downside of having 5 kids- as a mom of 5 myself- I think what Alyssa meant was its good FOR THE KIDS when they're close in age but its harder FOR THE MOM when they're close in age lol. I always say the same thing. mine are 16, 13, 19, & 25 months apart so they're VERY close in age- 5 kids born in 6 years. its heartwarming seeing them play the same games, like the same toys, watch the same shows, they all go to the same school, they share friends, etc, so in that respect its awesome having them close together but its obviously much harder having 3 kids in diapers, 3 potty training, learning to walk, talk, crawl, etc. as someone who is an entire generation 10 years removed from my siblings I knew I would prefer to have my own kids close together. but there's defiantly certain trade offs you make with either choice.

John is right on, as.a Navy brat our family vacations were always going to see our family in Washington State, where both my parents were from. My dad would take his 30 days a year at once and we’d go see them. Dad was stationed in SanDiego so we spent a lot of time going to Disneyland, Sea World, the Zoo and the beach, Mission Bay. When dad retired we moved to Washington and saw Mt. Saint Helens blow. We went skiing all the time and went to the beach, go rafting. So the only family trips we would take was going to see family and we did that once a year.

@tessaw55 23 күн бұрын

I'm with John, definitely counts as vacation. My family is (& was when I was a kid) spread all over & now i have fam in another country. I don't remember going on any vacations that didn't involve seeing family (some family member, usually was aunt/uncle ...but not always). We often stayed at whoevers family members house. We may not have stayed at their house the whole time. But we definitely incorporated family into almost all our vacations. Dad/mom would have us go off & see/do things (with & without those fam members) away from their house. So to me seeing family, when visiting them requires significant travel (like more than just a couple hrs drive) definitely counts as vacation. But I have also been told our fam was different in that we had so many spread out across so many states 🤷‍♀️. So if we don't count those times visiting family, guess then I've never been on vacation 😂.

When I was growing up, determining if visiting family was a vacation or not depended on what family we were visiting. If we were going to Mom's side, that was just a trip because it was less than 2 hours away. If we ere going to see Dad's side, that was a vacation because it was on the other side of the country, and the trip always included hotel stays, meals at restaurants, and seeing sites.

John is half correct. If you are going to help someone out as a family, then that is not a vacation. But if you're going to visit family, that is a family vacation/holiday. Because you get to catch up and have a break from normal life. Plus people are helping out with your kids. So that is a family vacation.
