Hello. I have been reading a number of posts in this forum and others on the web and it seems to me like there as many satisfied timeshare owners as there are those who are dissatisfied. I often heard jokes and stories that criticized timeshare ownership and it's got me seriously confused because my mom and dad seemed to use and enjoy the timeshare they have, so I was considering timeshare for my family's vacations, but remain a bit skeptical about making the plunge into buying. Why does timeshare have the bad rap with some folks and not so with others?
