In this lighthearted and entertaining podcast, parents and partners Vanel and Sindy tackle those all important decisions and awkward conversations that arise when raising a family
Holidays pre-children are a relaxing affair filled with only things you want to do, post babies they become expensive palavers, filled with mascots, kids clubs and theme parks. Is a family holiday even a holiday for the parents? And all this is hard enough without having to decide whether to pay the fine and take your kids out of school or pay the extortionate prices to travel during the summer holidays. Let's face it getting away as a family is never cheap but can you really put a price on broadening your children's horizons and perspectives of the world? In this episode Sindy & Vanel unpick their own childhood holiday woes and the two discuss all the places they would like to go - with and without the kids! And, like many of us with family abroad, they debate when is the right time to see family and when is the right time to see the world.
