A couple who are neighbours of ours have 4 children -2 bots 10 and 8 and 2 girls 6 and 5.
Mum has been on holiday several weekend and 1 full week skiing with her friends.Dad has had a weeks skiing with his friends plus another week skiing with his father + eldest son.Then mum and dad have taken the 2 eldest boys on a weeks skiing with 2 other families , and left the 2 little girls at home and school with the grandparents coming to look after them Reason - they couldn't afford for them all to go !
Feel really sorrt for the youngest 2 who haven't had a holiday at all.
We are very old fashioned I think, in that we all go as a family and if we can't afford for everyone to do it,then we find something cheaper.I'm probably a bit envious of all their holidays although I don't think I'd actually feel right about being away so much without my DC.
