Yeah, I quietly watched a male friend at work "have to" sell off his coveted two seater for , get this, a 2nd van. They only had one kid at time but had a minivan and then a white van w/ plush seats so he could spend his vacations driving to the in-laws house in MI for vacations.
This sounds like what my in-laws consider "vacation." They either go to casinos, or they stay with "familee" and bunk up on cots or couches to do so. At Christmas, I insist we at least stay in a hotel, although it's still not what I call a "vacation**" by any means, but at least we don't bunk with family and we have own space at night.
When I saw this insanity going on, I thought: what's wrong with these people? Don't they want a hot shower at night? My SIL and her husband would be at her parents for two weeks at Christmas. That's two weeks of his vacation time. Seriously, are you that stuck up your parents' ass that you can't think of more fun things to do than cram in a house with 15 other people?
I thought, doesn't my SIL want private time with her husband? I guess not because when that joke went around about Blowjob Day for men to compensate for Valentine's Day because VD is essentially a holiday for women, she was
very offended. So you know someone isn't smoking the baloney pony in her marriage.
She confirmed the answer when she told me she was glad to get off the Pill because her husband wore condoms and she considers sex to be "not fun" and "messy."
And she's 100% Breeder Moo, dropped out of the workforce once she got knocked up some 30+ years ago, never to return and the adult children who are 30+ are still living there rent free, the whole bit.
***Bell's definition of "real vacation"
1. no excessively long car rides. There are these things called airplanes that take you to places and it's faster.
2. nice destination. I like the beach.
3. Nice hotel with spouse.
4. no family and definitely no fucking brats.
