Do you enjoy traveling with your parents?

[queenofcardio]

I don't mind traveling with my mom but my dad is another story.

When was the last time you traveled with them?

[Friendlybro79]

Noooooo. Same here my mom is a joy. My Dad is a nightmare and ruins everything for everyone almost every time he's involved. I feel terrible saying it but it's true and he doesn't care how his behavior affects others. Ugh sorry you asked this but here's my last experience lol

Last time was an extended family members birthday where he embarrassed everyone so badly by how rude he was to everyone and the car ride home he just wouldn't stop yapping. I had to ask him 3 times to kindly keep his terrible, evil, and just mean thoughts to himself and he refused because he's older, he's the father, and he (literally) says he's going to say what he wants to who and when and no one can stop him, and he wants everyone to just take it because it's the truth (how he sees it). This is the polite version.

He was so terrible in the car while I was driving them that I had to pull over and threaten him to walk home if he didn't shut up. That's not my personality and I'm always respectful to my elders.

He is so terribly hateful and mean all the time it is difficult to be trapped in places with him. I had heard this my whole life from 5 years old till I moved out. It was enough for me. I was prob 35 and after one hour in the car of none stop hateful rhetoric and accusations, embarrassing us at the party, I told him I was going to have to literally subdue him in a sleeper hold lol. I was trying to lighten it up ( I was clearly joking. Sometimes that snaps him out of it. This time it didn't and his eyes turned into pure evil and he started cursing me out while I was driving and physically threatened me. So I asked him calmly to take it back and that I was trying to be silly so he could just relax and he threatened violence while I was driving again. So I pulled over got out of the car and said ok I guess this is how you'd like to teach me a lesson.

I said you can do whatever you want. Hit me. Your adult son. I'll let you and I won't retaliate. I'll let you take out all this hate on your son so you can finally be rid of it. I won't hold it against you but you will never be allowed to talk a bad word about anyone again... if you do in my presence, your end of the deal is to be ready to be hit as many times as you hit me. That's if you break your end of the deal. Then when. I hollered get out of the car he whimpered and he hasn't pulled this shit with me again.

I am still sad this is how I had to snap him out of it and this is why I won't travel with my dad period lol

Haven't traveled with my parents in a long time but was always fun
They are easy to travel with and easy for me to go on my own when they rest

Yes, in a different way than traveling with friends.

With parents it’s slower, more about time together than chasing plans. You notice the moments more the talks, the small memories.

It may not always be “exciting,” but it’s meaningful in a way you appreciate more as you get older.

I traveled with my parents on a cruise when I was 17. I had a great time!

[Sirenboobzilla]

I love it. I often travel locally with my mom. My dad will sometimes do small road trips with my brother and I. And every 2 years or so we all travel to visit family in Czechia and Finnland

[DryGermanGuy]

Yes, but that was decades ago. The last time we vacationed in Paris, France.

[Abbycado]

Been a couple of years since we went on vacation. I don’t mind traveling with them at all.

[Spencer10]

My parents are cool... traveling with them is fun.

[exitseven]
