[quote=Anonymous]Here is something I have learned using that whole bucket metaphor people throw around...we all have a certain size bucket that already has plenty of cracks and little holes from life's challenges and all the stress. If we don't have real vacations and real breaks and we decide to combine our breaks with our biggest stressors( e,g. challenging elderly parents/work calls/toxic frenemies or whatever) then instead of repairing the cracks and filling the bucket we create more holes and let me tell you that bucket could break completely or crack up. If you want to be able to be loving, kind and patient to your parent then you need to truly enjoy this vacation. Don't break the bucket![/quote]
