Summary:Dear Martha Carr: We were talking about our coming summer vacation the other night and, once again, we ended up in an argument. Vacations are a real thing for us. My husband hates to go places with the children, the children hate to go places with my husband, and I am caught in the middle. The moment we get into the car, he sets up rules.

When we get home, everyone is tired and antagonistic, and it takes a week or so to get back to normal.
