[...] I'll always be there to hold your hair back as you puke after I spin ya on the Tilt-a-Whirl if ya know what I mean. Your teenage daughter reminded you the other day about several of her friends who are traveling in Europe this summer. And she, of course, is not. [...]

I’m sure there might be some hesitation regarding the following suggestion, what with “Travel Warnings” and the whole “War Zone” issue, but……………Afghanistan might be an exciting place to visit right about now. Especially if your children are into those shoot-em-up and World of Warcraft-type games and all. Kabul would be an excellent choice for all involved. If gratitude is the emotion you’re seeking from your children, this would be an adventure most appreciated by your female children. I would recommend that you pack plenty of bottled water, and of course, Kevlar.

Try Paraguay, but only for fathers and sons. The local Guarani Indian women are cute, never get angry, dont practice monogamy, or speak English. Their language sounds like chirping birds, so even when they do talk, it is actually pleasant. For some reason they will only be romantic outdoors, but thats OK because they have absolutely no modesty. Believe me, your kids will learn a lot.

I’m with Mad Woman. In fact, I hear there’s this really nice resort in Grenada and right outside the walls are these horrible slums. I say, make reservations for Mom and Dad at the resort and arrange to pay a family outside the resort $1 a day to take your 3 children for the duration. You’ll get a great vacation, your kids will learn they better keep their mouth’s shut when their personal chef over cooks the prime rib AND you’ll be quadrupling one lucky family’s annual income. Now that’s a Win/Win/Win if I ever heard one!

Can I also make them fly economy while I fly first class? There’s no sense torturing myself in the process is there?

@ChattyCat: And that’ll really be beneficial when you inform them that you’ll no longer be springing for expensive, unnecessary “footwear.”
