But why take on debt to go on expensive vacation?
I’m a parent We’re not going to Disney it’s a fuckin rip off. If you feel you’re a bad parent because you didn’t bring your kid to Disney seek therapy.
To a little kid, it’s a whole different perspective. Peer pressure is an ugly thing. Your kid can feel ashamed or insecure just because their friends goes to Disney and they’re not.
Make sure they understand that too, not just yourself.
Having been a little kid once, I literally never felt any urge or need to go to Disney land/world and was never once bullied or pressured to go.
This is a made-up issue.
How old are you? Different times, different perspective, different issues.
Each generations have its own issues.
Back in the 90s, if one kid doesn’t have a Gameboy he’s happy to watch other kids play. But now, if one kid doesn’t have the stupid Stanley Cup, they’re targeted for bullying.
You can’t assume your own experience and emotions is the same as everyone else.
A Gameboy and Stanley cup are both items other kids would see you with. Going on a vacation away from all your peers seems like a weird way for kids to peer pressure each other.
Ffs, I went to Taiwan earlier this year for a little over a week for like $2k total, plane tickets from the US and everything (granted we stayed in some pretty sketchy hotels but it isn’t like the fancy ones were that bank-breaking). I don’t understand why people are putting their livelihoods at risk for a corporate hellscape instead of hopping to another country for a bit and seeing all the world has for us
- Traveling with children to foreign countries is a lot harder than with adults
- Entirely honestly some people have little to no desire to leave the US. I don’t think you could pay me to spend a week in east Asia, that’s just not my idea of fun.
- Disney is huge. There’s days worth of things to do, multiple parks and experiences directly marketed for kids (be that good or bad). You don’t even have to stay in the Disney ecosystem with places like legoland, universal studios and a bunch of other theme parks.
