I don't mind travel, but there are only so many times you can spend the day trapped in the Cleveland airport before it becomes tiring. And THAT was for work - I can't imagine how I would feel if that were my vacation. I mean, I'm 28, and I've lived in France for a year, done relief work in Nicaragua, traveled across Europe and the U.S.... I'm good. So many times we push ourselves so hard on vacation that when we get back we need a vacation from a vacation! No more of that for me. And if other people's thoughts on the expense of kids drive you crazy, imagine how I feel, as a person who doesn't want to have any. And like you, my family won't shut up about my budget. My mother has been known to go through my bills while visiting and questioned me about my mortgage. Thanks, mom! Keep in mind you're one of the people who kept pushing me to buy a house on the cusp of the sub-prime crisis! Wow, did I relate to this article!

You just used your imagination and had fun and clean up was so easy. Now I see kids that can not open their closets or walk in their rooms because toys are everywhere. Heck when we wanted to play out side you played kick the can, hide and seek, or tag. Who knows maybe some kid would have a ball then we could play kickball. How many games could you play with a deck of cards? Spades, rummy, crazy 8’s, war, go fish, and the best 52 pick-up. With a blank piece of paper you had tic-tac-toe, connect the dots, hang man, or just draw a picture.
