Dont get me wrong, as lovely as our holiday was real life does have its moments! Kids can be challenging, putting on sun cream was a real battle with her, and there were times she wanted me to come in the water when all I wanted to do was read my book! Those things, pretty minor really, would have easily sent me running for a drink
😀😀😀
100% for sure! When I was drinking, I found all sorts of creative ways to GET RID of my kids,
pr ways to extract myself from their presence, so I could do what I wanted without them around.
Sober, I’m 100% present, and involved in all the annoying tasks that go along with parenting: applying sunscreen, prepping meals, snacks, water bottles, travel bags, etc, etc, etc! These little people require so much time and effort!
But....isn’t it wonderful that we get to participate fully in these mundane tasks with them, build memories, and have good/bad/exciting/boring whatever moments with our most precious people??
