My husband and I have been together 12 years, though only married for four. His daughters (my step-daughters), now 23 and 18, and I decided to go the Yucatan Peninsula for a family trip over Christmas this year. Their mother agreed to it and we have been looking forward to it since July when the planning first began. The hope was that we would get a villa on the beach and decompress from our stressful (city) lives for a week. Well, we got the villa and it was on the beach, but the girls were horrible to us after the first 48 hours.
