My husband and I plan to go on a trip together for 10 days without the girls. We want to prepare them and ourselves in the best possible way. How do we do this before we leave? When do we let them know it's happening? What should we do while we are gone? How do we join back after we arrive home in the best way?
We are on vacation away from home and we are not doing well. HELP!
I am visiting family on the east coast alone with the girls. We’ve been out here for 2 weeks now. Our schedules have definitely been off even though I have tried to maintain them to the best of my ability.
One of my daughters has been beyond attached the whole trip which is not really like her to this extent. I have not even showered alone to give you some understanding. And my other daughter has just woken up upset many days. She is definitely more moody than normal. Not sure which side of her I am going to get throughout the day.
People here parent way differently than I do and standing my ground and maintaining my parenting has taken a lot of effort. I feel like I am riding a two week anxiety wave internally.
Our vacation time is ending. What can I do to help my children transition back home?
Our time in California is winding down and their camp ends this week. The girls are so incredibly sad and I know there will be tears. They have made good friends over the last six weeks and they are already saying they don't want to go back to Miami, they don't want to go back to school etc.
My daughter feels it a lot more than her sister, she always cries when we have to say goodbye to her grandmother. What can I do to help them with this transition?
Is a long tour of a monument ok for my kids?
The kids have been asking us to go to a historical monument BUT the tour is 3 1/2 hours long. I know the excitement is gonna die out and it won’t be as entertaining for them so how can I prepare them and myself for the day?
Last week we went and only hung out outside and they’ve been asking all week to go, so I’m hopeful...
