As the children get older, the whole family holiday thing is getting a bit more complex. We’re going to the Baltics in August and people will be coming and going and the planning and organising has nearly killed us all.
I thought Argentina last summer would be our last full family holiday but I’m not entirely sure that this will be the case. Argentina was great when we were there (though a little tiring and perhaps not all members of the group were equally enthusiastic all the time) and since we came home we have often spoken of it. I pointed out to my loving family that it has had the bonding effect I had been hoping for. Michael said, “Have you heard of trauma bonding Mum?”
