AIBU to find holiday with small DC bloody relentless?

[Rainallnight]

That’s it, really. DP and I just had an argument. Think we’re both exhausted.

@Rainallnight

Thanks for all the replies!

DP and I could definitely be better at tag teaming. Our problem is that DC invariably run off in different directions and want to do different things in any given place so that takes a bit of management.

DS is going through a really bad threenager phase. DD is five and a lot more civilised but is very clingy for various reasons.

No doting in laws to help. In fact, we’ve brought a very elderly MIL with us who actually needs a bit of looking after herself. So that’s not helping. My parents are dead.

We really are having some lovely times. And I don’t expect it to be like holidays pre-kids. I’m accidentally a SAHM, so I think that might be part of the issue, as PPs said.

I’ve never considered one of those all inclusive places. Would love some recommendations!

Take a look at Tui blue for families, we've had good breaks with them as there is a a great set up for kids

I find it a hundred times harder at home, when you have to find ways to entertain the kids and are stuck into the normal daily grind and routine.

Holidays give you a break. A much needed one.

Exactly. At home I feel like we go to the same place all the time. We are NT members and while I love the local places I have been so often, I can do guided tours by now.

Going away means disovering new places, finding hidden gems and maybe even the visit you won't do again very fast.

At home I see the pile of stuff I need to do and it just destroys any fun and relaxation.
