I have been married for 13 years and have two great kids. About 4 years ago I started taking my family camping. We have enjoyed it so much that this year we purchased a Motorhome and have 9 trips planned. The problem is that this year my parents have purchase a Motorhome and would like to join us for a weekend camping. This is out of the question for my wife. She feels that they are intruding on our space. I tried to talk with her about this but She will not go are allow the kids to go. I'm having trouble understanding her view. This is something that the Kids and I would enjoy. What am I doing wrong and how can I resolve this?

It is great that you want to spend some time with your parents but I think it may be better served on a different ocassion. Your wife is seeing this time a quality time spend with the family.<P>13 years is a great innings and I wish I could have made it past one. Your wife does not resent your parents it seems that she just wants time with you and the kids. Don't read to much into that your wife doesn't love your parents, she does love them but you and the family more.<P>Camping is s great way for find out more about each other than any other way and with your parents there it will hinder this. Good luck with the camping and please make the right decision, remeber your wife is there for the long haul.<P>Best of luck and god bless.
