I haven’t been blogging for the last week because I have been away. I have been on holidays with my family.
An attempt to get a wireless internet usb modem didn’t really go to plan when I soon realised that this device didn’t even load the internet. Maybe one page every five minutes. I very quickly gave up on the idea.
So I had no internet, no connection, and was forced to put my blogging on hold.
I soon realised the importance of family holidays, the importance of taking a break, and the importance of stopping our daily activities.
So why are family holidays so important?
What is the importance to each family member? For different family members, holidays mean something different.
For dad, who most often works full – time, it is a chance to switch that work button off and put on a different hat. Relax and play dad duties. By dad being around, mum can relax and feel like some of the mum duties are shared and a load is taken off.
Mum can feel a little more relaxed.
And the kids can have dad for some extra full time.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, bath time and dinner time.
It’s the special things together, the things that can only happen whilst on family holidays.
The zoo, continuous and daily swing rides, strolls on the beach, babychinos and family brunches.
It doesn’t have to be far, it doesn’t have to be long. Just a time that can be called a “family holiday”.
So what is the importance of a family holiday to you? What is special to you?
