[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to reset your expectations. You’re expecting a different level of effort and relaxation than at home which is unreasonable with a two year old. A two year old is not capable of realizing they are in relaxing place. If anything, the change of scenery and routine is a difficult adjustment for them. [/quote] Op here. Yes I know this. This is exactly my point, it’s even MORE effort on vacation. So why would we even go on vacation to be more tired? Do we just not take any vacations till kids are all 6+ or so? [/quote] You don't avoid vacations until later ages, no. Some people certainly do this but I wouldn't recommend. Every year it gets a little easier. I recommend screen time for the harder parts, honestly. Waking up at 6am? Cool, that's Daniel Tiger hour until Mom and Dad have had their coffee. And make sure your spouse is giving you some alone time (and vice versa) without the kid, that can make or break things.[/quote]
