Holidays can be a great way to recharge your batteries. However, holidaying with children in tow may be a far cry from the relaxing breaks you were used to before they came along.

Asda would like to hear about your holidays have changed since having children.

Are journeys that were once the exciting beginning of your trip now a time where you have to juggle loads of luggage and the dreaded “are we there yet” chorus from your DC? Maybe you’ve swapped your previous adventurous treks with more relaxing destinations or now consider the holidays you used to enjoy overrated? Perhaps your priorities when choosing a destination or accommodation have completely changed to encompass your children’s needs and entertainment?

Tell Asda about the ways your holidays have changed since you’ve had children by posting on the thread below. All who post will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 Asda voucher.

Thanks and good luck with the prize draw!

Holidays have always revolved around kids as myself and my husband have been married since we was 18 and we had a child at 17 so the last 20 years that we have gone on holiday we have had to have a lot of extra luggage and not much relaxation and since my oldest is 19 and my youngest is two with three kids in between I won't get to have the holiday I truly want to for another 16 years but at least we have fun when we do go away even if we do have a lot of heavy luggage and have to be organised with military precision

Holidays with kids are involve....
Less sunbathing and more sandcastles.
Less pre-holiday pampering, more pre-holiday organisation.
Less lie-ins, more early mornings spent desperately searching something on the foreign language tv that will keep them quiet.
Less lazy meals and extra bottles of wine, more sticky icecreams and fizzy drinks.

BUT, nothing beats exploring the world with someone who is brand new to it. I wouldn't change it for the world and am looking forward to some more adventurous holidays as my kids get older and I am less inclined to kill them on the journey.
