5. Don't go. If camping makes you miserable, stay home.

If the others love doing it, great for them.

We don't have to force ourselves to do things we don't enjoy. For instance, I simply don't like opera. I just don't get it, and have turned down more than one chance to go to the Santa Fe opera here. It's apparently one of the best such venues out there. Okay, so an opera would only be a few hours of my life, rather than several days or however long your family goes camping. Still.

It may be that other family members aren't as fond of the camping as they're pretending.
