This is Hell
First Time Camping.
Two weeks in a tent in the Florida Keys in October. Hot (95+ degrees) and very humid. My wife and I are at a camp site with her parents, our 9 year old daughter who is nonverbal autistic & 18 month old son.
My wife's family used to camp regularly, but I do not. Her parents and my daughter are in an RV, with my wife, son, and I in a tent that we discovered leaks.
I'm constantly covered in a glaze of my own sweat and being eaten alive by mosquitoes and noseeums. I *want* to like camping, but this is pure misery. My mood is making me miserable to be around and I feel like I'm ruining it for everyone.
General or specific advice on what I can do to make a better experience for myself (and by extension, my family).
