   Reminds me of when we used to go to Mexico for a week. Before it got scary. It was cheaper to stay at a nice all inclusive hotel for a week down there than to go to restaurants here for the same amount of time. Then the kids came along. Nothing messes up vacations like toddlers.

Enjoy it now.  They grow up fast.  I had my two kids fairly early.  Now they have moved away and are starting to have kids of their own.  There are some great memories and the stressful times are mostly forgotten.

   My youngest is 12 now, so they are quickly getting to that point as well. Most of the people we know have younger kids and they are often anticipating how much easier it will be when they get older. I don't say anything because I really hate to ruin it for them. Often times, I think teenagers are just a smarter, sneakier version of toddlers.

Yep, those teenage years, especially 15-16, were the worst.  Absolutely the worst.  Somehow I lived through it.  Oh the stories I could tell.

My daughter just turned 34 and my son is 32. He has a one year old.  My wife's daughter is 31 and she just had her second child.  Our only "child" together is an 11 yr old Maltese.  She is the best.  Never a problem and never asks for money.

In some cases, there's always guilt:

 

A Jewish son calls his mother, who sounds very weak.  The son inquires why.

"I haven't eaten a thing for 3 weeks," the mother says.

"Why?" asks the son.

"Because I didn't want my mouth to be filled with food if you should ever call," she says.

I was surprised you thought $15 was overpaying. If I take the kids to BK, I’ll pay $15, and I’m not even eating.   

 Even a generic chain restaurant around here would run us $100 or so for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Was thinking that it's too much per-person, not total.

Big fan of BK and other fast-food coupons.
