What’s your idea of the perfect family vacation? Kicking back, relaxing and spending quality time together? Or making every moment count by jam-packing your itinerary with fun and exciting activities?

A man says he’s sick and tired of the same boring annual vacation with his extended family. His wife had agreed that they should all do something different this year. But she changed her mind without informing him, and committed to spending a week at the same beach, in the same street and sticking to the same strict routine. He’s now told her that she and the kids can go alone.

    I would say I would go, but only on the proviso that me and our children are not subject to the in laws rules and planning. Say we will join them when there is something we want to join them on, but it is OUR vacation too and we want to do some things we want to do. If that's not ok then I will not go and I won't make the children go unless they want to.
