We did our family holiday with close friends with similarly aged kids (excluding our baby). It worked absolute wonders, both sets of parents got "nights off" and the kids (sometimes) entertained themselves. That being said, we are so lucky with family. The MIL has given us the all clear for a city break in the next couple of months, and we cannot wait!
There’s no vacations with kids - it’s simply a trip. That being said a big realization this year for me was that these trips are for THEM not for me. ( setting that expectation made the trip that much more enjoyable ) Ps: more friends and family members should step up so we can all have vacations FROM the kids at least twice a year 😮💨
