In France, 65% of parents have their children looked after by grandparents during their vacation*. The opportunity for both generations to spend special moments.
When some pass on knowledge and family history, others discover the world with a different perspective and become part of a lineage. The relationship with time is different and often the rules too.
And if these holidays end each time with a lot of unforgettable memories, that doesn’t mean that everything was rosy from start to finish!
Cohabitation is not always easy as the rhythms of these two generations are different. Activities are often at the heart of concerns. When asked “what are we doing today?”, some people sometimes find themselves at a loss. Outing to the park, to the beach, board games, making a cake, coloring, etc. The list of possibilities may be long, but we can quickly go in circles. And that creates tension!
And you, how are you doing ? How do you organize yourself? What are your tips and tricks to make this vacation go as smoothly as possible?
