You are probably beginning to think about your summer vacation. The kids will be out of school, the weather will be perfect, but where should you go? Many people head to the beach for summer vacation, maybe renting a house or a condo. But this year especially, you may want to consider an all-inclusive vacation. This could be the perfect vacation for everyone in the family, especially mom!
This year with COVID has been tough on everyone, but it has been especially tough on moms. If mom works full-time, she still has to get her job done, probably from home at times instead of at the office, still has to take care of the family AND she has probably had to add home-schooling to her to-do list! It’s a lot to take on!! Before COVID she went to the office and was able to get her job done with minimal distractions. But with everyone at home the kids have been bugging her for a snack, or she has to find some way to keep them engaged with their schoolwork, or some way to just keep them entertained while she tries to get her own work done! And she has probably turned into a part-time teacher with virtual schooling too. That’s a lot for anyone to take on!
This year has been tough for stay-at-home moms too! I remember when my kids were little. I would clean the house during the day, and then 10 minutes after the kids came home from school it would look like a tornado came through! Or I would get all of my grocery shopping and other errands done during the day without the kids slowing me down. But with everyone home, mom doesn’t have that time to herself each day. She’s having to shop with the kids (and don’t they always ask for the sugary cereal or candy in the check-out line??) or try to keep the house clean with everyone at home. It has been a lot of added stress for her!
So maybe you’re beginning to think about the usual beach vacation for the family. But if you stop to think about it, that’s not really a vacation for mom, is it? She will still have to do the cooking and the cleaning and make sure the kids are entertained. Of course she will get to enjoy the beach too, and you will go out for a few dinners, but it’s still going to be work for her.
Now let’s think about an all-inclusive vacation…. There is no cooking, no cleaning, a beautiful beach and pool to enjoy just steps away (just think of all the chairs, pool and sand toys, etc. that you have to lug to the beach normally!). And there is a kids club that your little ones will LOVE while mom gets to relax on the beach, cocktail in her hand with a good book! Or maybe she can enjoy a massage at the spa. There are activities to enjoy with the kids during the day, delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner each day (again that she doesn’t have to cook!) and time to just relax and unwind!! Doesn’t mom (and dad too!) deserve this after the year we’ve all had??
As a mom myself, I can tell you that an all-inclusive vacation is my absolute favorite! It’s so nice to have activities like kayaking, snorkeling and beach volleyball if you want to be active, or just a beach chair and umbrella with someone bringing you cocktails if you want to relax. There truly is something for everyone at an all-inclusive resort, especially mom! So where will you go this summer??
