Always with the family. Kids all under 13. I wouldn't leave little kids to go on vacation with dh. Iyh when they are older we will. For now we do family trips.

I’ve only ever done family vacations. But it’s more of a trip that is memories and hard work. But the change of scenery is nice.

Depends how old your kids are. Mine are both still very young that they won't know the difference so as of now we go just us. It's not a vacation with the kids. If they are older, they will notice and want family time (unless you do a daytrip or 2 to make up for it).

We do a family trip each year when kids are off. Wish dh and I could go on vacation just us, but we only get to do that once every few years when we have where to set up the kids. Last time we did that was in 2018.

DH and I have never done a proper vacation without kids. We do a 1 night getaway once a year, maybe twice a year if all the details work out.
Depending on all the schedules of the kids and other factors we do take family trips when we can.
For now, saving all of our CC points for an epic vacation one day in the future.

We prioritize family vacations once a year. If we've gotten that in and the logistics work out, then dh and I will go ourselves. I would say while whole family is once or twice a year, with dh only happens maybe once in 2-3 years (and even then, we've never left the kids more than 3 days).

This year, for the first time in over 20 years, DH and I went away together with no kids. It was to a wedding so not exactly a vacation, but it was overseas and we stayed two or three days (depending if you count travel time). It was very nice....

It allows you to connect with your children on a different level
It creates memories forever
We only vacation as a family. I don’t really have a place to leave my kids and I’m not sure I would leave them to go on vacation. |
I agree. Its so important but again I wouldnt call it a vacation. I also havent taken a vacation since my kids were born. Im ok with that we will vacation when they are older. For now its all about family trips. Bonding and making memories

There’s no option for both?
Most times with my kids. A family trip.
Every other year or so with DH for 2-3 nights
Ever year with my sisters for about 2 nights

1x a year just with dh (1 before kids) and if you count the tropical place my parents live, family trip 4-5 times a year and 1 real family trip (out of the country)
If your husband or you prefers, go with just him. If not, go family

I did not leave my children to go away with DH.
J would never spend my resources (call it $ or vacation time) to go away with DH at the expense of my children.
Once the children were all accounted for I have gone away with just DH, but I would never farm them out with the intention of unloading them so I could have a vacation.
DH and I will B”eH go away this summer, but we will go in the short period that overlaps while my Kallah is visiting her Chosson’s family, and everyone else is in camp/Israel. I also made sure that I have the vacation time and cash to still do a family trip (3 day road trip but that is all we ever do)
