You work, your child is on vacation? So the summer is still nice

Again with a guilty conscience the door closed behind you and went to work, even though the summer holidays started long ago? The first good news: Your children are in good company. In about 70 percent of families, both parents work, so in most. You are just a few of many today leaving the children at home to earn money. And no, the others can not all make home office, often have no grandma with endless time budget in the area or enough coal to spend three children riding holidays. No broken leg. Nevertheless, the summer will be nice with these five ideas:


1. "Baby please never worry anymore"

Staying home is stupid? But it does not work any different if you work, so make the most of it. Free to CRO you could make an imaginary trip around the world. Every day a different country. Tomorrow for example Italy? Then there is a lot of gelato after work and at the pizzeria around the corner a fine pizza. You can plan your trip to the Rocky Mountains. You can climb with a bit of imagination in the climbing park. And a free afternoon is enough for that.




2. Pack your bags, go on vacation

The best thing about a holiday is the feeling of having everything you need in a single suitcase. Why not do the same thing at home? Pack your children a small suitcase with special things. Maybe a theater ticket for a piece that you can look forward to? A new radio play? Some sweets? A little extra pocket money? A season ticket for the outdoor pool or a puzzle book? The suitcase will help you all to change the daily routine a bit and is great against boredom while you are at work.


3. Out of the comfort zone

Yes, it is exhausting to go to the pool after work. But the sentence "not worth it anymore" should be deleted as far as possible from his list. Even after 18 o'clock you can still hang out for an hour in the pool or honor the quarry pond with a dinghy. Is even very relaxed, because the masses then make their way back home. Also very nice: camping in the garden. Saves you the annoying travel time and nasty showers. One thing you should always keep in mind: It is not the superlatives that make children happy, but the little luck. And you can also find that at home, if you just break out of your daily routine. With anticipation in the stomach, a working day is much faster. For you and also for your children.




4. Check holiday program

No matter where you live: Everywhere there is a holiday program. Can you ignore it, of course, or just join in? Find out in good time about the offers of youth centers and communities. There are real pearls and usually absolutely affordable. Maybe a few friends feel like it.


5. Let her fledge

The trend is to "pack in cotton", yes, but you do not have to participate. With a good swimming badge and a decent clique, older children can also go to the outdoor pool alone. If that's a bit too much, then perhaps the freedom to leave the house with a key is enough. Just check in between to see if the old rules and prohibitions still make sense. Yes, they grow up really fast and that's not easy. But in small steps, letting go is easier.
