[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been more or less going without a true vacation, and I mean a real break, like 1-2 weeks, since last March. He's taken plenty of time off, but it's been to mostly manage the kids while I work or, if he can, work on side projects at home. What's everyone else doing? I haven't been with my org for more than a few years, and overtime was eliminated when the pandemic started, so I don't have a lot of time off anyway. I've taken a day here and there to go to a salon, front load chores or do something "safe" with a friend, i.e. socially distanced hike. DH isn't interested in taking an actual trip, renting an AirBnB and we don't have a camper to tour around with. Even if we did, the kids are still too small to actually enjoy such a trip, anyway as car rides can still be a nightmare. We've done socially distanced day trips to our parents, but that's not a vacation. I've thought of taking time off when the kids have spring break, but I think it would be a waste of time because it wouldn't be like I could really go anywhere and relax. Any creative solutions? I can take time off a disappear for a day or two myself, i.e. go to a spa alone for a night or two with pandemic restrictions in place. That's about it. [/quote]
