Our family will continue to travel to the destinations of our choice and enjoy our time together and the vast experiences we can learn from. We have even been told by our daughter's teacher, that she brings and contributes so many experiences and so much knowledge to the classroom that she is an asset to the class and learning. I will never put an end to that, whether or not others feel I should be traveling to the same destination as them. I say lighten up, life is too short. I have to say that I am skeptical about those parents who tell us how well-behaved their children are when they take them to gourmet restaurants or hotels clearly designed for adults.
Children always seem to look better to their own parents.
I raised by daughter in an earlier era and would not have allowed bad behavior in a restaurant or hotel. She was taught to be polite to adults and not noisy in inappropriate situations. I wouldn't have wasted my money taking her to gourmet restaurants. When people with young children go to gourmet restaurants I always get the feeling that they are oblivious to the feelings of others, or else purposely thumbing their noses at the other diners. The consequence is that their children start going with adults to adult kinds of places at a very early age and are simply expected to behave.
