Family of Four

I am trying to not be so feisty about things in life. Patience really is a virtue I would love to acquire. But alas I just have something that has really been getting to me. Everywhere I go and try to get the "family" rate or pass, it is almost always limited to four people. I know this argument could go a number of ways and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with having only (and I don't mean only) four people in your family but why do I have to pay extra for deciding that I wanted another child? I think I should be getting a discount because everything in life is more expensive with another child (ok, that's a little sarcastic). Even the swimming pool for our complex (don't get me started on the fact that we have to pay for a season pass to the apartment pool) will charge us extra for Sydney next year. What? If businesses want to put a limit to their "family" pass, then they should just call it the "Four person pass" and then I won't be so let down or feel punished for adding the number five to our "family."

I had never thought of that before.....that IS annoying! Four person pass would definitely be more fitting.

Don't worry Amber, once you get back to the good 'ol Wild West,(and you better) those things will just go away.

Yeah, like Bert, I guess I am used to my mormon (the west) bubble. I didn't know that there was a limit of four for Family passes. I guess most mormon families would just have to buy TWO family passes for their ONE family...CRAZY!

First of all, you have to pay to use your apartment swimming pool? Something is wrong there.

And I am sorry about your family pass situation. Not right. Maybe businesses just don't like odd numbers, because they don't have a lot of 7 family passes around here either.

That is so weird! Sorry you have to deal with that Amber!
