About to set sail with your family or head off on a road trip?
Here are some travel survival tips for holidaying with extended family (from someone who's done a lot of it!)
• Choose a holiday you all agree on
• Share responsibilities such as organising the trip, booking restaurants, babysitting…
• Leave personal views about parenting, drinking and diet at home
• Book enough accommodation for each family to really spread out and relax
• Adjoining rooms are good for babysitting and catching up
• Set basic rules first, such as how often you get together and where
• If someone wants to do their own thing, don’t take it personally
• Get the formal group photo out of the way early
• Take your own happy snaps and share photos at the end
• Share things like snorkelling gear, books and toys
• Move around at mealtimes so you catch up with everyone
• Take kids’ books and toys to dinner so you get some adult conversation in
• Invite single family members to join you in activities and mealtimes, and offer to babysit if they have kids
• Don’t expect Grandma to keep the kids entertained. It’s her holiday, too!
• Enjoy!
