Should kids go on holiday abroad every year?

To grow up well rounded or is it just a nice luxury to have?

Before having kids I imagined we'd be jetting off every year like I did pre kids however having a neurodivergent child has meant I'm not able to work as much as I could previously and our income has seen a reduction.

We have a comfortable income and can do days out and pay for my daughter's hobbies but not enough to jet away every year.

I know this sounds like a stupid question but I just feel like I've let them down somehow.

Total luxury

Actually, imagine asking if kids should abroad every year - some don’t even gave a UK holiday.

It's a luxury. My kids go to my mother's house a couple times a year which is a 45 mi ute flight and in another country but if my parents lived closer my kids would never have been abroad. Our only other holidays is a couple long weekends camping a couple hours from our house

I'm sure you can grow up well rounded either way!

I went on annual foreign holidays, still do a few times a year now. I'm not sure I've ever noticed that I'm more well rounded than anyone else, especially not based on my holidays tbh.

Your DD will grow up well rounded by having loving supportive parents who take an interest in them 😊

Of course not. Totally a luxury.
For many people - It's also a choice and preference. We have literally only done it once as a family in nearly 20 years and I have been abroad with DD but not DH twice.
I'm not keen on flying and we love the UK.

Of course it’s a luxury. How could you think otherwise ??
