Going on vacation to recharge your batteries, without children or a spouse, is the Momcation trend that is gaining momentum on social networks. Decryption.
Family vacations are not the same as road trips or lazing on the beach. Going on vacation without children allows more discoveries, time for yourself, to recharge your batteries, and above all rest! And the mothers who follow the new trend “Momcation” understood it well.
What is this new Momcation trend?
This abbreviation of “Mom” (mom) and “vacation” (vacation) in English encourages young mothers to go alone (or with friends) on vacation, without children or spouse. A moment just for them, without obligations, to cut off from their daily lives. This new trend, which is gaining more and more subscribers on social networks, has reached nearly 80,000 followers on Instagram.
How to organize to go on vacation alone?
Sometimes, like Cait, this American, the organization is easier since the children are on vacation with their dad, which gives him time to organize a little weekend by the pool. Thus, separated parents can completely organize themselves to take advantage of the children half of the school holidays, and the other half, to have fun and rest fully before the start of the school year.
Recharge your batteries on vacation, without feeling guilty
To recharge the batteries when you are in a relationship, it is less simple. First becauseyou have to agree to take a few days without feeling guilty, leaving the children to the father. And take the leap without stressbecause the objective is indeed to put an end, for a time, to this everyday mental load.
Tell yourself that everything will be fine without you, that the dad is there to manage, and that your children will not be unhappy. Take the time to breathe, enjoy, and sleep! Besides, how long has it been since you last slept in or slept in? You will then come back in better shape and you will even be eager to find your little family. If you are apprehensive, try to leave for one or two nights first. You could also test this experiment in turn between the father and you.
Finally, another alternative exists and is more practiced by parents: leave your children to the grandparents and treat yourself to a nice trip for two!
