summer holiday

Summer holiday. It is fast approaching, that time of year again. That time when you load up your kids, spouse, and other family members and get going on that long awaited holiday.

The time of year when you finally are going to kick back and relax. That time of year when you finally are getting some more time to stay romantic, get back to what things used to be. Enjoy your self and get some very sought after quality time together.

Sound familiar? Only the reality is that summer holiday time often are the most stressful time we have together. Just because of all the expectations we have to have the most perfect holiday ever.

Reality is often that we are more stressed out than normal. bad mood and fights might easily occur as I personally know way to well. A week on “holiday” with Mr. Grumpy is often .

I love to travel. Him on the other end thrives best at home. In his normal routines. But we make that trip every summer, and try to adapt. Yes there will be discussions and heck yeah, Mr. Grumpy will be just that… grumpy.

I still think it is worth it though. We can all benefit from some time away from our normal routines. We just have to take some steps to not make it unbearable.
