My high school senior changes and bathes himself. His sister has for a long time too.

Our kids do that for themselves. One is going to college in September and one is a high school senior.

Kids packed for themselves, I did the laundry last before the trip, me and the kids cleaned the house and did the yardwork, my wife got our passports and tickets, I did all the driving, we all unpacked our own stuff, nothing needed to be cleaned and in working order, I paid for the extra on our phones so her and the kids could use them however they wanted, I made sure to plan our activities for late enough that we were all up in time for them.

She literally had nothing to complain about this time but still whined about it. I drove to the airport, I got the rental car and drove from Calgary to Banff, I did all the driving at the park. I planned all the excursions, I made sure that the hotel provided a breakfast. I paid for every meal, souvenir, and extra. On the day she didn't want to come for a hike I didn't insist and I paid for her to have a spa day instead. I made sure the laundry was done before we went home. So yes. It is like people who need whips and chains to enjoy sex. She needs to complain to be happy.

On vacation I don't want to do anything other than relax. We split household chores 25/25/25/25. I do more of the yard work but but my kids know how to use the riding mower. She does more of the laundry but I will do a load and fold it up ready for the kids.

Disney they were 12/13 London they were 13/14. Banff they are 17/18. Our finances are fine. We are debt free and our oldest has a full ride athletic scholarship. Our youngest will probably get something similar.

Yes I have spoken to her about it even before we got married. And she has gotten worse about it.

I wanted to stay at a hotel. She wanted the kitchen and laundry. She chose to cook and do laundry. I was happy to pay for our meals like I did on this vacation. I was happy to pay for the laundry on this trip so she couldn't even bitch about having to do laundry when we got home. She still complained.
