In reply to the discussion: Do you bring your college aged kids on vacation? [View all]crazycatlady
(4,492 posts)19. I went on one family vacation when I was in college
And TBH I regret it. The accommodations were better designed for families with elementary school aged children, and despite being 21, I was treated like a child the entire time.
I'm now in my 30s (and not married) and will never go on vacation with my family again. I'd get a cot in the living room (as opposed to private accommodations) due to not being married, and their idea of a vacation (going somewhere hot in winter) is the total opposite of mine (somewhere to escape the heat).
