[quote=Anonymous]Don’t budge on the vacations.  If you need to outsource the planning to a travel agent, do it.  I’ve had vacations where my husband had to take phone calls, once he even had to fly out for the day for a meeting in the middle of our beach week, but we still had a great time.  I find that those days away from the routine really help to solidly our bond as a family and make special memories that can make the grind of solo weekday parenting easier to swallow!  We often take vacations with the grandparents because it’s hard for him to carve out the time in his schedule to get away.  We can both vacation and check the boxes for grandparent time too.  We’ve done Europe, the Caribbean and Atlantic beach weeks with them.  It’s really nice becauase we have built in babysitters for the occasional date night, and there’s an extra set of hands to make the challenges of sightseeing or time changes with the kids more bearable (carving out one on one time for a moody kid, or staying with a preschooler to nap).
