They didn't. Only ever visited family and that's it.I really don’t know how two people working full time in decent paid jobs can’t afford a family holiday. Doesn’t need to be anything extravagant but I’m sure they could afford it and that’s just an excuse. Did they ever go on holiday before kids?
I followed her for a few years before kids and never known her to go away.
They 100% can afford it. Just choose not to.
