Now just thinking about makes me sad knowing I have to go.

Do you know how much work is involved to pack a 5 and 2 year old? Moving day is easier. Plus a 8 hour drive only to meet my in-laws there and listen to their sh*t.

Here is a scenario:

Meal Time

What yo uguys want to eat?
I dunno
I don't care
wahtever
Pizza?
oh no
not that
we just had that
Chinese
oh no
not that
we just had that

Now repeat for every possible thing a humna can eat. It literally tkaes a hour to get everyone to agree on what to eat.

Last year a few times during all that I just eat cereal during their bickering and moved on from the conversation.
Here's a solution for that. Pre-plan. On our now basically defunct (woot!) multifamily hellcation all of the separate family units would take a night and cook. We had enough families to cover like 6 of 7 nights and on the lone night some people would go out and others would eat left-overs. Trying to fly-by-the-seat invites stress and frustration.

On vacation I like to spontaneous which doesn't work with mixed group vacations.

I mean really planning is for everyday life not vacation.

Spontaneous is a horrible idea with mixed groups or large group vacations. Have shit planned out beforehand. (including meals)
