Vacation is not vacation for those of us with a young family - it's actually more work than being at work is, sometimes. Good work, rewarding, but also severely draining sometimes.
- WhompingWindows 7y agoI think you know the answer: you need to leave them at home if it's necessary to disconnect. If you can't disconnect with your kids and/or wife in tow, for their sake, you need to hire help or have family stay while you recharge your own batteries.
- AdrianB1 7y agoYou have a different situation than the person who asked the question, assuming the same answer apply to everyone is a mistake. How it worked for me in a similar situation: parents. I live in a country where families are not completely destroyed, so we had 2 pairs of parents to help with the kids. Taking the wife in vacation is doable and effective.
- core-questions 7y agoTrue, I'm already relying on two sets, in fact. Problem is, we need them so much already that lumping the kids on them entirely for weeks would be just too much. Toddlers, ya know. Lots of energy.
