Just arrived on a little holiday. 3 kids (10,5,2). 3 bed apartment , very nice. Uk holiday (1.5 hours down the road. Only staying for 3 nights, just a short get away (all we could afford this year).
why is everything so bloody hard? Packing took the best part of a day. Air B&B means we have had to bring everything (toilet roll/washing up liquid). Kids are so over excited! They are running around the apartment like headless chickens. We have worked so hard to gather all the bloody equipment we need to go away for 3 days, the food, the beach stuff etc etc…
I just feel so miserable (and ungrateful). I feel it is important for the kids to come away. But it feels like such hard work for such over excitement.. we will be having to pack everything up again in 2 days time.
what am I doing so wrong? Am I just a miserable horrible person? Hoping the kids have a great time, but why can’t I enjoy it? I just see it all as so much work!
god I sound awful!
(also just to add, kids get 2 weeks off for this half term which is amazing… although not for me as I am also a teacher but my school only get a week.. so another reason why it is just a short break).
