Vacations are supposed to be a time of relaxation and fun... Except when they happen to be with your family. Trying to tan on the beach? Not possible because your little brother is kicking sand on you. Alone time? Nope, you're cramped in a little house or hotel room. Relaxation? Sorry but not going to happen with everyone fighting constantly. I don't know what it is but family vacations always seem to bring out the worse in everyone.

1. No one is ever ready on time.

Get ready to be eating dinner at nine at night because no one can seem to get ready quickly. And don't plan to get to the beach before three because you're dreaming. Getting the whole family out of the house is a lot of work, especially when everyone is stubborn and wants to do their own thing.

2. Alone time does not exist.

The word peaceful does not exist when family is around. Might as well not even try reading on the beach because someone will start talking to you before you even read one word. And what's the point of a family vacation if you want to spend it alone because honestly that's impossible.

3. Constant fighting.

Yup this is almost guaranteed. Everyone gets on each other's nerves and nothing can be agreed on. You're parents try to act as the mediator but they will soon give up when they realize that you and your siblings will always have beef.

4. No one can agree on anything.

One person wants to do this, another person wants to do that, someone else wants to do nothing... Good luck finding something everyone can agree on.

5. One shower = absolute hell.

Not to mention there will probably be no more warm water by the time it's your turn. Got to love family time.
