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?

Maybe I am not normal...But I always enjoyed my family hols with my brother and parents. Static caravan on the South Coast with a magnificient view of the Solent, amazing beaches (and a lot of wasps but oh well).
Only notable weird moments were...
My brother getting dry when he was about 7 in front of the fire and burning his ass on the wire front of it, leaving him with an interesting noughts and crosses pattern on his cheeks.
Finding a dead fish on the beach to use as bait in the crabbing area and leaving it over night outside. CRAWLING with maggots next morning.!
Seeing a topless woman when I was about 17 and staring for fucking ages at her.
My girlfriend coming with us and having to shag VERY VERY slowly so as not to rock the van. Came up with a new position that night as well as voyeuring a couple shagging behind a beach hut that my parents totally missed whilst out for a walk (my ex loved watching lol).!
