Family HolidaysBack in the 80s when my Dad got made redundant (hello Dad!), he spent all the redundancy money on one of those big motor caravans.
Us kids loved it, apart from when my sister threw up on my sleeping bag, but looking back I'm not so sure my mum did. There was a certain tension every time the big van was even mentioned, let alone driven around France for weeks on end with her still having to cook and do all the washing.
What went wrong, what went right, and how did you survive the shame of having your family with you as a teenager?

Bodily fluidsMy youngest has a thing about bodily fluids when we camp. First time we took her camping was when she was ~4 or so. She flood us out by wetting herself. This year she had a different trick of getting in to her sleeping bag and then announcing that she was going to be sick. Getting out of a sleeping bag should be an olympic sport. She was sick only once but we were already prepared with a bowl with us. Still hated the thought that she might stink out our only bedding with her tummy chunks.
