Charlene White Instagram – I love a holiday without my children, writes Charlene White.
“I mean, I love my children, that’s a given. I love spending time with them, that’s also a given. And I love going on holiday with them, that too is a given (well, most of the time – no one enjoys their kid having an epic meltdown on a beach. It’s the polar opposite of joyful). But I also like time away from them, be that a night away with friends or a mini break.
“With the relentless hamster wheel of working full-time, parenting, sorting the house, shopping, sports clubs, cooking, joining the PTA (volunteering is important, no matter how busy you are), daily 6am alarms and more, sometimes you just need a moment to breathe and do nothing. And not feel guilty for doing so. It’s amazing what happens when you hit pause. But as parents, we can’t always recognise when we need to.”
