Spring break is upon us! Yippee our kids scream, no more getting up early, no more homework and no more worries for at least the next week. Spring break is that time of year where the kids rejoice, and we parents are put in a very precarious position of deciding what to do with them? Many parents are blessed to be in the position of taking their kids on a cruise, or to some exotic destination like Hawaii or Mexico. Some parents are even brave enough to send their kids off on their own, believing that their little Suzy or Tommy will be well behaved, responsible and do what is right. Are you serious? If your lucky the tattoo they get wont be to obvious, the beer and jello shots will have been left behind on the floor of their hotel room under four towels, and hopefully they won’t tell you that they fell in love with Julio, and are moving to Mexico to find themselves.
For many parents, especially single parents, spring break can be a difficult time of year. Many parents can not afford an expensive spring break, and others have a tough time getting time off from their jobs. Recently I was asked by Channel 2 and the “Every Day Show” here is Denver to record a series of ideas for parents in just such a position. Below are some ideas for all of you parents on a budget, or just having difficulty getting time off. I would love to hear from you what your ideas are as well….
We are told from the time we are born that what is most important is on the inside. “Pretty is as pretty does.” I can remember an older relative saying to me. But, if that is true, why is it also that we hear from such a young age, “Isn’t she beautiful? Look at those gorgeous brown eyes!”
