You know, if I was a parent, it would be at this point that I’d rip the game from his hands, stash it in my backpack, and force him to enjoy history goddamnit. This vacation cost a lot and the game is only for the hotel and travel time.

imagine trying to force someone to think that stonehenge is fun

EXCUSE YOU

I had the amazing opportunity to visit Stonehenge this past year and ya know what!?

IT IS PRETTY FUCKING AMAZING!!!

Ancient History is fascinating don’t even

as someone who’s been dragged on countless vacations I didn’t want to go on, I have to say you really can’t force someone to be interested in something they just don’t care about

especially as a kid, I didn’t care about burial mounds or ancient forests or national monuments- now, I’m much more of a history buff, but it simply wasn’t appealing to me at the time

and let me tell you, being somewhere you don’t want to be, with people you don’t want to be with, out in the hot sun, usually trekking to yet another ancient thingamabob that you don’t give a shit about- it’s miserable.

so. no. if you don’t want your travel money to be wasted, don’t bring the kid, go somewhere that actually has appeal to the whole family, or save it for a future journey that they’ll actually be able to appreciate
