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?

the caravanonce a year we go on a family holiday to the caravan.
when my sister was 4 she was the female anti christ and caused my mum
to consider drowning her on one particular holiday.
unfortunately they settled for locking her in the caravan while we all hid
outside so she would behave. it was working until she decided to
head butt the window and then attempt kicking the door down.
then there was the holiday were a family friend was getting
incredibly stressed out so while we were at the club on the campsite,
he proceeded to get incredibly drunk then join in the kiddies disco
by hitting the dance floor and doing all the actions to the ymca
and many other classics.the kids looked terrified but he looked
like he was having a great time.
