-Do go on vacations with your kids. You are investing in having them travel with you in the future, and liking it. You can do it! Just give them tasks and treat them with respect. -Ignore the kids menu. It's shit. Just order off the regular menu and share with your kids. -Some kids are hard to raise, some are easy. You will probably have both if you many more than 1. C'est la vie. -If you're like me and value time, get a job you can walk to. Have your kids go to a school you can walk them to. It makes things so much easier. -Hire a cleaner every few weeks if you need a break. -Buy used clothing if you can. Same with toys. No need to break the bank. -Give them space, teach them to be bored on their own. -Have scheduled electronics free time. Kids careers != Parents careers. They may end up doing things completely unrelated to your career. Let them find it. -They will push you to the edge of your patience, and you will lose it. It's all good. Just try to keep calm. Even if you lose it once, just try to do better the next time. -There is no instruction manual for kids - it was forgotten by the doctor inside the mother's womb - for every kid ever born :) So yeah, we're all winging it! -My kids are 6 and 8. They have given me a new range of emotions that I never knew existed and have made me better for it. -Kids make you value your time. Learn from that lesson.

You should most definitely not take them on vacation and traveling. You are already forcing them to live their adult lives in a world wrecked by climate change, no need to hasten the demise even faster. Stay at home and teach them skills useful in their future, like growing crops and repairing failing machinery.

  There is always the option of a staycation. A vacation doesn't need to mean that you travel far away.

  Traveling expands horizons and gets people out of their bubbles. The world would be a much better, less hostile place if we could all experience other cultures firsthand from time to time.

  My 8 year old has his own workbench, and all the kids in the neighborhood garden. Thanks for mentioning that. Regarding travelling, to each their own. Remember though, seeing new things and meeting new people is what broadens horizons. No need to even take a plane if you don't want. Simple driving trips to start are a great way to begin.

  Yeah, totally, let those instagram hipsters traveling off the hook, they are allowed to travel 10 times a year, God forbid a parent take his children on a vacation once or twice a year!
