The chronicle of Julien Blanc-Gras: “How the dad manages the trap of the holidays…”

You go in backpacker mode as if nothing had happened. Just like before, when you roamed the world with your backpack and your spouse, in uncomfortable buses and distant lands to explore ancient sites in trekking shoes. This is always possible, at your own risk. Some claim “that a child can be transported like a bag”. This is overkill, because:

  • This bag can vomit in transport.
  • In truth, it represents two bags.
  • On the plane, we can’t put it in the hold.

 

You go on a cargo bike to go wild camping in the middle of the forest.

That the child learn, from an early age, to pitch a tent, to recognize edible berries and to hunt squirrels with the slingshot, these are healthy occupations to instill in him survivalist skills. But ask yourself the right question: how long can you last without WiFi? Also consider that it can rain for three weeks, which would have the consequence of disgusting your offspring of Nature for a few years.

More comfortable, here is the relaxation plan.This promotion for the club stay in the sun winks at you. You hesitate: the club stay is really daddy-mom’s thing. That’s good, you’re a parent, you’ll have to start admitting it. My advice: choose an establishment with a kids club. Nice animators will take care of the kids,

which opens up monumental perspectives, such as being able to finish reading a novel, or even, let’s be crazy, consider having sex in the middle of the afternoon. I feel that I have convinced you.

Don’t forget the grandparents. The country air will do the little ones great good. Grandpa and Grandma are at their best, the children will run in the grass and eat healthy. Of course, your stepfather makes jokes sometimes borderline but he takes the kids to the merry-go-round while you stick them to each other in Ibiza. Problem: you feel guilty about the aftermath of the party, and it ruins your vacation.

Finally, daring dads may be tempted to offer: “Honey, I’ll let you go alone with the kids, I have work to finish at home and then it will save money.” ” Well tried. Know that your stratagem does not fool anyone, everyone will understand that you want to watch the World Cup cuddly, without having to change a diaper in the 88th minute of France-Brazil. You risk paying it for a long time.

Courage, it’s back to school soon!
