'Making memories'

Argh nearly the end of the summer holidays and I don't feel we've done much. Facebook is full of families doing great things and 'making memories' . Dd11 is autistic so life for her and me is tough. Also we moved house at the start of the holidays and have been slowly sorting that out. We've had a few outings to an outdoor lido which my dd loves but not a lot else. Feel like I've let her down. Anyone else feel the same as me? Tell me I'm not alone in feeling rubbish!

We have been really lucky this summer to have the money and time to spoil the kids. IT is the first time in years though as we have been working or skint the last few years. Is you and your DD are happy enough and surviving the holidays then that is good enough.
Plus, if you looked at facebook, you wouldn't know we had left the house! Facebook isn't a reflection of real life.

What does making memories even mean?

I'm making memories right now. So are you.
