To think going on holiday is too much like hard work?

[lurchermummy]

What with booking and organising the trip, cleaning the house, packing, all the washing before and after, organising pet sitting, organising food for when we get there, organising what shoes/coats/etc we're taking, working, getting suitcases out of the loft, cleaning out the fridge, emptying the bins, yada yada I'm knackered! Staying at home would be way easier. But I'll be glad when we get there!

I’m thinking about sending dh on holiday with the boys and leaving me home alone.

I think I would like it very much.

I agree. Add to that “working like a demon to tie up loose beds and hsvd over work at work before going” and “another week or two of craziness to catch up when I get back”.

Totally agree with you butt is worth it once you are there.

Enjoy your holiday

No idea where the rogue t in but came from. It is a pain in the arse though...

Definitely agree with you! My mum offered to pay for a holiday for our family. She didn't seem quite as keen on my suggestion for her to have the kids for the week while DH and I were away!

I was fortunate enough to get all the washing done in Italy as there was a machine and everything dried very quickly.....

But still hard work.

I think this thread is the very definition of a first world problem! Organizing a holiday and everything that goes with it does take time and effort, and I realise your thread is lighthearted, but for some people, this would be a lovely ‘problem’ to have....

I’m going away with one ds and dh is stayi;g home with the other; no ore holiday housework and half the packing and half the cost, it Is the way forward.

You do need a grumpy teen that doesn’t want to go away though and a nice husband that doesn’t mind missing out.
