Tips for Vacationing with Extended Family

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

We've both traveled with our extended families over and over again, and have loved the memories we've made together. But different bedtimes, sightseeing styles, and mealtime expectations can lead to unexpected conflict.

Laura in our Facebook group wrote in to say:

"Might be a fun episode before summer: large family vacation traditions. I'm wondering if there are favorite games/foods/tips/funny stories on going away with lots of members of your non-immediate family."

As usual, our listeners responded with great tips for maintaining both organization and sanity when vacationing with extended family, and in this episode we discuss them all, including:

• Which conversations to have ahead of time—and which conversations never to have at all
• Systems for family vacations that don't fall on one person (or one gender) to execute
• Limiting your non-negotiables as a nuclear family ahead of time
