Had a stray thought the other day. I have an upcoming weekend away with my three adult kids, and even this is fairly expensive, just staying at a beach hotel a couple of hours drive away. It occurred to me that if we had a family vacation that included my ex and his wife, and split costs, it would be more affordable to do more real travel.
Then I snapped back to reality. Even though I could behave politely around my ex and his wife, my kids would be way too uncomfortable around them. It wouldn’t be a vacation for them. Heck, one son doesn’t even speak to his father!
I’ll just need to save up for more family vacations with the kids on my own.
