In normal cities, the retirement age of the elderly is 60 for men and 55 for women. After retirement, the elderly usually either wander around their own residential areas or take care of their grandchildren at home. If extroverted old people can have more social activities, such as traveling.
The recreational activities and interests of the elderly in rural areas can be slightly narrower than those in cities, so they are going to take them out for a trip.
The first thing to consider is whether the personality and education level of your parents and your parents-in-law are at the same level, whether the four old people can chat together at ordinary times, whether there is anything to talk about, and whether there will be a scene when the four old people are together. This is the first consideration.
Secondly, if you really want to travel at the same time, you'd better discuss it with your wife and ask her parents. At the same time, you also ask your parents' opinions, which must be asked by parents themselves to get the real answer. If both sides have no opinion and are willing to travel, the first step of the trip is no problem.
If you choose a travel agency to travel with a group, you don't have to worry all the time, just follow the team and take care of the lives of the four old people at any time.
If you choose a self-help tour, you should make good arrangements for your itinerary, hotels, local cars, tourist attractions, and stopovers. It is more complicated than traveling with a group, and there are more things you can do.
Always pay attention to the psychological dynamics of the elderly. Before doing something or going somewhere, it is best to discuss or inform together so that the four old people can know the next arrangement. When going out to travel to buy things or buying some local specialties or small gifts, it is best to have both and try to be fair.
An elderly person may feel embarrassed after meeting for a few days or a week, and may not go together. If that's the case, it's enough to make reasonable arrangements for both parents to travel according to their own holidays. It's best to go to the same scenic spot, not too far apart. If one parent knows, it may be a little disgusted or incomprehensible.
They used to be in the countryside, and their in-laws were like enemies. As long as the children marry their parents-in-law, the two old people basically stop communicating, and even when they meet, they rarely talk.
Now there are fewer children, and some are even only children, so the contact between the two in-laws has increased. Some are even like a family, regardless of you and me.
If you young couples want to travel, do you want to take one of your parents or all of them? In my opinion, it's best to take them with you.
First, we are all old and have a common language. Joking while walking, there is always their topic. If you bring your parents. There is a generation gap between parents and children, and there is little common language. If you can't find a common topic, it will be awkward to sit together.
Second, there is a companion. Old people who use honey are about the same age and walk at the same speed. You young people can play as much as you like, while the old people walk, talk and watch behind. Although there are not many places to go, it will be full of fun and happiness if someone talks to you.
Third, it can strengthen their feelings. Laugh all the way, talk all the way, take care of each other and be diligent with each other. Through close contact with each other, we have enhanced our feelings and understanding. The old people on both sides are harmonious, and the young couple will be diligent and United.
If only one parent is brought, there must be something wrong with the other parent. It will be ugly for you young couple to quarrel with each other. Making trouble again and again may destroy a good family.
This is my personal opinion, right or wrong, please give us more valuable opinions.
Hello! Before answering this question, I need to know how long you have arranged to travel abroad.
If it's a day or two, I think we can be together. A short meeting like this will cherish each other, and it is also an opportunity for both parents to get to know each other and deepen their feelings.
But if it takes more than four days, I think we must separate. Everyone has their own living habits and persistent things, and the journey is too test of human nature. In order to leave a good impression on both parents, I think it is better to separate.
I hope I can help you!
I have always advocated taking the elderly out for a walk as much as possible while they are in good health. In case there are regrets in the future. As for whether to take both parents to travel together, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation.
First of all, it depends on whether your parents and in-laws are the same age. If the age difference is large, the growth environment and background of the two people are very different, which is easy to produce differences. Short distance 1-2 days is ok, and long distance is best separated;
Secondly, it depends on whether your parents and in-laws live together. If there is a big difference in customs between the north and the south, it is not recommended to travel long distances together.
Thirdly, it depends on whether the living and eating habits, work and rest habits, hobbies, temperament and physical health of the elderly on both sides are similar. If they are similar, they can travel together, which can strengthen feelings and communication.
Finally, whether you can take the old people from both sides to travel together depends on the cooperation between you and your wife, whether you have made sufficient preparations before traveling, whether you have made comprehensive decisions during traveling, and your ability to solve emergencies. If you can keep pace, unite and be friendly when there are problems and differences between your parents, and you can coordinate to solve them, then bring your parents:)
According to our many years' experience in customized tourism, we summarized some matters needing attention for your reference:
1. Older people are older, so don't be too tight. Fatigue leads to decreased immunity and easy to get sick. Stay at least 2-3 nights in each place, and never change hotels every night.
2. Go out to travel and eat out, and try to be close to the usual eating habits of the elderly. Avoid hunger and satiety, and be sure to bring enough common medicines.
3. The circulation system of the elderly is poor, so it is best to avoid taking the bus for a long time. Generally speaking, it is best to take the bus within 2 hours and not more than 3 hours every day.
It is more difficult for old people to get jet lag than young people. If they travel long distances and arrive on the first day, it is better to rest in the hotel instead of arranging a trip to help the old people reverse the jet lag as soon as possible. If you arrive at your destination around midnight, most hotels outside China will not be able to check in until after 15 that afternoon. In order to let the elderly live directly, you must book an extra room in advance to let them rest.
Because of the high medical expenses abroad, I buy a travel accident insurance for the elderly according to my own needs. Last time my father and I were delayed in the plane, my father lost 1500 and was as happy as a child:)
I wonder if the above answer can solve your problem. Welcome to consult and discuss. I wish all the old people a long and healthy life and travel around the world!
There is no doubt that taking parents and parents-in-law out to travel must be separated!
Isn't there a saying like this? In-laws, no matter how good the relationship is, it is better to keep a little distance.
After all, they are two in-laws, with different family environments, different habits and different hobbies. Reluctantly take my parents and in-laws to travel together. If you have the same hobbies and tastes, so much the better. However, one likes to walk, the other likes to ride, and can't walk at all; Also, a family likes to eat spicy food, and a family can't eat spicy food at all. How can I take them out to travel together?
I once saw a young couple who wanted to let their parents increase their feelings and take them out to play. At that time, when making this travel plan, they thought that they didn't have enough time, so it was better for their parents to go out to play together.
The intention was good, but I didn't expect that such a well-intentioned travel arrangement became a nightmare for the young couple.
The woman's parents have been accustomed to thrift all their lives, and they are also very frugal at ordinary times, and they are reluctant to eat or drink. Every time I go to a scenic spot, I can't bear to buy some food at the scenic spot. Even the water was cooked by myself and brought from the hotel. The man's parents, whose economic conditions are already very good, are particularly disgusted with these behaviors of the woman's parents. I think the woman's parents are completely ordinary people
Once, the young couple managed to persuade their parents to go to a more upscale hotel for dinner. Both sides were fine when we finished eating. Unexpectedly, the problem is that after eating, the woman's parents insist on taking the unfinished food away, while the man's parents think that the woman's parents are completely incredible, and they have already eaten almost, and they have to pack it, which is completely humiliating.
In this way, both parents, at that time, looked very ugly. In the hotel, there was an argument.
There were still two days' travel plans. Because of this, I was forced to terminate them early. What was originally a pleasant trip for parents to increase their feelings has turned into an unpleasant trip that intensifies contradictions.
After the trip, the parents of both sides still talked about their in-laws in front of their children, making the young couple regret it again and again, and almost parted ways because of their parents' disagreement.
Therefore, I think it is a good thing to take the elderly out for a trip, but parents and in-laws really can't take them out at once, so they must take them separately. Don't be afraid of trouble and fatigue, but everything at home is happy!
I tell you as a person who has experienced it, it is absolutely necessary to separate them. If you take both parents to travel at the same time, I dare say that more than 90% of the cases will be good intentions to do bad things. When I was unmarried, I saw a very good in-laws. As a result, he became an enemy because he went and came back at the same time. Fortunately, I didn't escalate into an enemy, but this has already made the young couple miserable. Fortunately, the young couple resisted the pressure and did not lead to divorce.
It was not until I got married that I deeply realized that this in-laws are two different family members after all, and it is difficult to get together. It is your wife, not both parents, who will live with you in the end.
As a child, while keeping filial piety, we should also use our brains. Opportunities to travel like this can't be pieced together at once, but must be separated.
Old people will treat their children as treasures, and they will have various requirements when they bring them, especially when they are grandmothers. Sometimes I even feel that others are not good to my grandson and have any abuse.
Take my own children as an example. My own children are very naughty. When going out, parents want to hold them firmly and tie them with ropes. But my parents-in-law are more relaxed with their children. It is not that she doesn't like children. It is her old man's nature that determines her attitude towards her son and children. Therefore, my mother is dissatisfied with this situation and will be a little nagging because she doesn't care much about her children.
In this case, it is impossible to take both parents out for a trip, which will lead to more opinions and even contradictions.
When my wife first came to my house, she couldn't get used to my cooking, saying it was too heavy. Their food is light and sweet, and she likes to put sugar in cooking. Now that several years have passed, she finds that her tastes are different from those of her family. And my parents sometimes eat things that other old people are afraid to eat.
Take mutton as an example. My parents have good teeth. They like the kind that needs to be chewy and torn by hand, and they also like to eat mutton hooves that are hard to bite. However, the grandfather's family only cares about mutton soup when they eat mutton. The boiled mutton is sweet from sugar cane, and the mutton is badly cooked. My parents don't like mutton cooked in that way.
My father-in-law is a teetotaler and doesn't smoke. He doesn't even drink tea, but only plain water. Although my father-in-law and my father are construction workers in the same industry, they are very different. Father drinks every meal, even breakfast is the kind that can drink a glass of soju, and a pack of cigarettes is basic every day.
My father sometimes wants a pot of tea after supper. Under this habit, if he and his father-in-law go out to eat at the same table, the food they eat is different, and even alcohol and tobacco are inseparable. It's still a little strange to think about it. This habit is not the same as at home. If one of the family members comes to have dinner together, they usually cook according to the habits of the family members. It's nothing. Traveling outside, if you want to take into account the habits of both sides, you will be very tired.
Therefore, if you want to be filial to your parents and take them out for a trip, I think it's better to arrange them separately, and you should also be careful not to favor one over the other and be a child. These still need more brains.
I'm glad to answer your question. This question depends on the situation.
1. What is the relationship between your parents and your in-laws? This is the key point in the key point. If the relationship is harmonious, then traveling together means singing and laughing. On the contrary, forget it, take it in batches.
2, the above conditions are established, then it depends on the physical condition of the four old people, but depending on the problem you set, this should not be a problem.
3. When traveling with the elderly, you must choose a good place to travel. It's too high, it takes a long time to walk, and it requires more physical strength. All these should be taken into account, otherwise it will be very busy to take care of four old people at once.
Finally, I wish your family happiness. If the elderly live a long life and are healthy, you can take them out to play more.
Traveling together is not recommended.
Because their parents don't live together, their living habits are different. If we travel together, we like to eat spicy and salty food, climb mountains, play chess, noodles and rice. Both sides live in their own families and have their own set of habits. If you travel together, if there are some troubles and quarrels between the two sides, the resentment is psychological and will not be eliminated for a long time.
If you have to travel, it is recommended to take a short trip, 1 to 2 days. Forget the long-distance travel advice. Life is stressful now, so don't add discomfort to yourself.
Parents of two families can be taken out to travel separately, thus solving the troublesome problem.
We must separate them. Older people get older and have different hobbies. My father is 80, and my father-in-law is almost 80. I am deeply touched. My mother passed away last year. My wife and I decided to take my father and my father-in-law to travel to Guizhou and Yunnan. As a result, after going out, two old people like hard food, soft food, light food, spicy food and two old people. My dad doesn't think we need to turn on the air conditioner. My father-in-law is thinner and always feels hot. This is very comfortable. They both gave my father a cold. My dad has been playing and wants to come back. Originally expected to play for half a month, but only played for seven days. After I came back, I swore that I could only take one parent when I went out to travel, otherwise I would be absolutely unhappy.
Getting along with in-laws means being fresh. It is best not to contact at ordinary times and meet less. If you have nothing in common with your children, don't be together. Therefore, the subject's question is very easy to answer, and it is best not to travel together!
