Most of my family is in California. One sister lives in England, so she had to travel a lot with her young family. She once said, “A holiday with kids is not a holiday. It's just more work in a different place.” 😁

I am currently on vacation with my two children and my parents and am really feeling this: “I feel like I have to hold it all together for everyone else, and that can be hard and sometimes impossible.”

For me, the struggle is not worth the vacation, but everyone else in my family loves this vacation (possibly because I’m running myself ragged handling everything) and I don’t want to ruin it for them. (This is our fifth time taking the same vacation). Now that my children are elementary age, I’m trying to figure out how to transition our vacations to where the struggle and the enjoyment are more evenly shared.
