Had a nice overnight camping trip in the desert with H and D14 and S12 (S17 had to work). The evening before, H and I had dinner with a work colleague of his and wife, who were in town visiting her relatives for the holidays. Their 13 year old son is bulimic, so she and I had a lot to discuss.
When she heard of our plans to go camping, she commented that she's a "bad camper' and won't do those things. How silly is my H, that he's married to a 48 year old woman who is still willing to go camping in the desert where you have to dig your own hole to go potty and there aren't even trees to hide behind......and he thought about giving me up???? Didn't he realize what a rare find I am???????
It is sad, though, how many of the wives of my H's friends and acquaintances are that way - and how much they are missing out on.
So - if you've been a "bad camper" wife in the past - time to do a 180! There are worse things than learning to squat in the woods
