    Married MFP'er here. Married 28 years, 1 grown son. I've been reading through this whole thread and I missed a bunch of good topics! I have to comment on one of them because I feel like such a weirdo.

    Vacations and who plans them. My husband and I have never went on a major vacation with just the two of us. We have always went with groups so neither one of us have planned any vacation we've been on. We go on a week-long camping trip every year with about 40-50 people, we go on a week-long snowboarding trip every year with 10-12 people, we've been on group cruises and group vacations to Hawaii. I find this odd but every time we talk about doing a "just us" vacation some group thing comes up and we want to do that. In Feb, we're going on a group trip to Fiji. Maybe we're just lazy and don't want to do our own planning!

    Happy Friday!

    Green Bay is something you're born with. :D In my family, if you didn't have at least ONE cheesehead and a slew of memorabilia, you were wrong.

    You also were required to drink PBR and/or Miller. But that's just a Wisconsin thing. Dont'cha know. ;)

    At the rehearsal dinner for our wedding my dad turned to my husband and said "congrats on becoming a Packers fan!" My husband hasn't cared about sports since he stopped playing baseball but he married into a Green Bay family :tongue:

    I'm the planner for our trips since (just how we are), I'm usually the one that knows everything going on as far as appointments, school days, etc. We both have full-time demanding careers so we do weekend or 3-day weekend getaways. I'm in Raleigh, NC so we can be to the mountains in 3 hours and the beach in 2. I've been making a point to do more mini-vacations so we don't get bored and complacent with our "school, work, housework, wash, rinse, repeat" life. We usually take one week-long trip a year to Wisconsin to visit our parents. I can't wait for the kids to get a little older so we can afford and do REAL vacations. I'd love to do a cruise.

    How many are "Married with Children"?
    (And grandchildren?)

    That was the norm back when we were married (1969). No longer true.

    We have three sons, two grandsons and FINALLY a granddaughter LoL.

    Eldest son (47) married with 3 kids.
    Middle son married last year at age 41, after living together for eight years so no kids.
    Youngest son (32) bought Condo with GF, living together, no kids.
