My husband and I are planning a trip to Estes Park CO. We will fly to Denver first and then He would like to rent a RV and camp the first day in a semi-primitive campground, and then want us to travel to other areas of CO. We have 2 young children, 1 and 3 year old, and I am not so sure I want to do the RV. Safety and space are a concern to me. I feel that the children are too young, plus I read that not so many RV parks welcome children.
My husband is very insistent on the RV trip, he feels this would be a great adventure, but I just don't want to try a new adventure with very young children. If the children were older, I would be more at ease and I would say let's do it!
Also, once we arrive at Denver, we need to head to Walmart and purchase bed sheets, pots and pans, silverware, pillows, food, etc. I just don't feel like going through that hassle. I think that a Cabin will work better for us. Let me know what how was your experience traveling with young children in a RV,
Would you recommend traveling or camping in a RV with young children?
Thank you

I'm going to assume by RV you're talking about a motor-home. With children the ages of yours it's a very bad idea. The kids have to be belted in the entire time they are in the RV..how does he pan to do that for hours on end?
I suggest you fly where ever you plan to go, rent a CAR and make reservations at RV parks along the way. You can rent a travel trailer big enough to sleep all of you plus give the kids a place to run around in. They are set up on permanent sites with bedrooms bathrooms, kitchen, Living room TV etc. And lets not forget it doesn't have to be sunny everyday, does he really want to be in an RV where these kids have no place to go and nothing to do?
And contrary to what you think all kids are welcome in RV parks..they usually have playgrounds and activities for kids planned almost everyday.
His idea is great for only a couple, or traveling with older kids..but at their ages..no no.
Plan where you want to go get out a map or go on line and check out RV parks with trailer rentals..you will ALL have a better time.
Good Luck!

How can I help my kids feel better about sending my dog away?

My allergies and asthma have gotten much worse since we got a dog. My doctor is very concerned, because my asthma has gotten so bad that I have to take my rescue inhaler several times a day.
My daughter is also allergic. Her eyes have started swelling and she breaks out in hives whenever the dog licks her.
We're going to send the dog to live with the grandparents.
We've tried everything else... Allergy filters, dog-free bedrooms, dog-free furniture, vacuuming, etc. nothing is helping.
However, the kids are really upset with the idea of sending him away. Are there any other pets (besides fish) that could help fill the void?
Answer
Find a pet without fur or one that doesn't produce allergy-causing excretions. Let it be known that the cute and cuddly don't fit into this category.
Tropical fish make the ideal pet for allergy sufferers, as long as the aquarium does not add to the humidity in a room and mold doesn't grow around the rim. Picking out beautiful tropical fish can be a fun family activity and one that may help kids get over not having a four-legged fluff ball.
Hermit crabs make for an unusual pet, and they are generally low maintenance. Snakes, turtles, salamanders, and lizards are also possibilities, but some of these pets require a lot of maintenance. Many need humid environments, which can set off mold and dust-mite allergies.
Syrian hamsters, the most common pet hamster, are an excellent choice simply because they are generally confined to a small living space. As such, they do not have constant interaction with the home environment. (If you do have a dander allergy, you still may be allergic to the hamster.) The same is true for pets such as gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, chinchillas and rats.

You could always go for some "cooler fish", like a piranha (you can drop them pieces of ham etc and watch them eat, we had them when we were young and it was such a party trick). We also later had something called an elephant fish (looked something like this in the nose area: http://www.synthgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gnathonemus_petersii.jpg) and they looked pretty weird. It doesn't have to be the normal boring goldfish. Or actually I saw a really giant one (bigger than my hand) in a pet store once, that might've been cool to have.
