Who doesn’t love those commercials for beach resorts — a couple quietly sipping
drinks, basking in the sun, swimming in clear water, kids either smiling off to
the side or nowhere to be seen. Good advertising, bad documentation. Vacations
rarely offer such tranquility. With kids, the breaks rarely come and the anxiety
is alway one potty break or tumble or hungry and tired meltdown away. So many of
us hold out hope for that big calm that’s there by the beach or lake or wherever
we vacation (other than Disney World, what parents delude themselves into
thinking Disney is calm?). Here’s the thing for parents — right now’s the time
to find it. Stand up and take a walk, close the door for 5 minutes of
meditation, shut your eyes and let go. Make it happen and the stress will stay
in check. Wait and, well, the kids will take care of the rest.
