Holidays for small (but perfectly formed) families

I love The Adventure Company holidays and have booked again this year. Unlike those where they put your child in a kids club (which has its place if you are in need of a rest, it just doesn’t suit me), the Adventure Company provides activities and entertainment for you to do together.  The most relaxing thing about a holiday with kids, for me, is having everything decided for you, laid out, planned and organised.  Not having to make decisions comes top of the luxury list for me, and being fed, watered and entertained at regular intervals is my idea of heaven, wherever we end up.

As ever I have choosen the cheapest time to go, but NOT one of their single parents departures.  I am so over the midnight gin and whispers.  There’s a point at which you realise you’re not a “single parent” – you’re a “small family” or an “independent parent”, and that’s worth celebrating.

And besides, on holiday with two parent families, we will always witness at least one holiday row between spouses, which leads my daughter and I to smugly appreciate our relatively uncomplicated relationship.
