If having a different view of a family vacation and it not being categorized, according to you, as "proper", I'm OK with that designation.

My, we are full of ourselves, aren't we?

Italy? Mykanos? Caymans?

Welcome to the real world...

Silly cussin dad who talks like a marine drill sargeant [sic], The poster’s point is it’s insane to go to the showcases and miss school instead of a real family vacation on the other hand, which is something that also benefits your other kids without missing school.
I think the poster’s reference to the caymans etc was to compare to your extreme of da travel. Most kids who play soccer don’t travel to florida to play 3 games over 5 days while missing 5 days of school in the crucial high school years.
This all started because you criticized anyone who didn’t agree with you.
Youre nuts and perhaps don’t have the nuts you suggested the other poster take care of.

Glad you are still with us and hope you have been enjoying the spring season. You really do make the board more interesting.

There's a reason you don't see a lot of family units at games. If you have 2+ kids more often than not you have to split up for the weekend to get everyone to their activities. Teens would much rather hang out with their own friends then watch a sibling play. Most soccer events are during the school year which means everyone has to be back in school quickly. It's not cheap to fly everyone out to say CO for a few days for only a partial vacation (because games take a few hours and often fall half way through the day + team dinners and no late nights for the player). We'd much rather save that money for true family trips that everyone wants to go on and we call our own shots on the schedule.

Yes, a voice of reason!

Once you're in high school it gets very tough to miss much school. Makes no sense to pull siblings from school for another kid's event, just the player if it's necessary. Also my spouse works for herself so she can travel more easily without taking vacation days. I love watching my kids play but I get plenty throughout the year. I'm spending my $ and time on a proper family vaca.

Smart!

If you add up what you spend taking everyone to soccer you probably would have plenty of $ for a nice US based or Canadian vacation, plenty of which is driveable
