When your spouse handles all the travel planning, how do you suddenly navigate airports and ride-sharing apps on your own?
In this heartfelt and humorous episode, Rebecca Greene shares her spring break adventures with her daughter, Lillie, in Orlando, while reflecting on how family vacations evolve as children grow older. After a family trip to Ithaca for her son Max's Cornell acceptance weekend, Rebecca and Lillie embarked on their mother-daughter Disney adventure, while her husband, Seth, stayed home with their older children.
Key Takeaways:
→ Parents shouldn't feel obligated to make vacations democratic - it's okay to make executive decisions about family trips
→ One-on-one trips with individual children create special bonding experiences that aren't possible in larger family groups
→ As children grow older, family members develop different vacation preferences that may require flexible arrangements
→ It's important to learn all travel skills rather than relying completely on your partner - from airport navigation to using ride-sharing apps
→ Being "present where your feet are" makes for more meaningful experiences with whoever you're with in the moment
Notable Quotes from Rebecca:
"I need to just enjoy whoever I'm with 100% and that's hugely different, because it used to be all of us together all the time."
"Don't sit back and let your husband do things, because then you don't know how to do things. We gotta pay attention people."
