I've booked. I do have to tell them when I'm going, of course. Not in the least so they can keep it in mind if any dates need to be set for court for The Family Thing. But by now they know better than contacting me too often when I'm away.

LOL, I guess I was lucky growing up in the city centre where there were very few children of my own age to play with. There wasn't a safe place to go outside and play and at that time there wasn't a playground near where we lived. So I didn't play with other kids often outside of daycare (a couple of times a week) and later school.

No, while she's on her notebook she also in almost constant contact with her friends through WhatApp. My sister has never been on vacation on her own and she doesn't want to. But now that her friends all have jobs, partners and some have kids it's impossible to get together again for a vacation, so I'm the one who has to go with her most of the time.

Hopefully now that she's got her own place she'll learn to be a bit more independent when going on vacation, too. At least it will be easier to keep quiet about my plans and she won't be able to invite herself.

That's so true. My sister wasn't born until I was six years old, so I know how to entertain myself and be by myself without getting bored.
