My kids should chip in money for a family vacation don't you think?
I hope that never happens. It would be terrible for them to have to pay for part of the family trip
I think they should pay for what they use, simple as that
I know that you may just want to lighten the load for yourself, but it's very alienating to make your kids pay for these trips. They shouldn't have to worry about money like you do yet, let them live out their childhood a little longer.
I want them to be adults and accept what their life is.
Are they adults? If they are under eighteen it would be wrong to ask them to contribute. If you can't afford the trip maybe you shouldn't go.
