The Holiday From Hell (With Kids)

In this week’s Parent Unplugged: Confessions, host Charis shares a
parenting story that went wildly off-plan - and proves that
holidays with children are anything but relaxing. From the shame of
that preschool email, to a family trip to Dubai that spiralled into
sick babies, surprise medical bills, an emergency tooth extraction,
traffic chaos, and ice cream for dinner in a shopping mall - this
is a raw, funny, and painfully relatable reminder that parenting
doesn’t pause just because you’ve gone abroad. If you’ve ever come
back from a “holiday” more exhausted than when you left, felt
guilty for admitting it wasn’t magical, or wondered why everything
is harder when you’re away from home - this confession is for you.
Real stories. No filters. You’re not alone.
