Family holidays can be great, so long as everyone gets along. But as with all the people you are closest with, your family knows how to push your buttons, knowing exactly what to say to make your blood boil. There?s nothing worse than a good holiday ruined by continuous arguing, moaning, or any other kind of drama. What follows is some advice for making sure that your holiday is a memorable one, but for all the right reasons.
The first thing you need to do is plan. Nothing fuels ill content than boredom, so make sure you have a decent plan as to what you want to do each day, and make sure everyone is happy with it. Then again, the plan should also be flexible, for one sure way of manufacturing resentment is to be too authoritarian, and unreasonably refuse ideas because they don?t fit in with the plan.
If you are travelling with children, then one way to make them more content is to make sure you give them their freedom. If they really want to go and do something on their own, then let them, and if they really don?t want to do something with you, let them stay behind. Even if they end up really regretting it, they will have no one to blame but themselves.
If you have small children which need watching all the time, however, then make sure that you share the load with the rest of your family. To make sure that everyone gets at least some down time, free of responsibility, get the older siblings, or friends to look after the kids for you.
The rest is the fun bit. Once you?ve made sure that arguments are unlikely, then you should just concentrate on having fun. There are so many great places to visit, with resorts containing so much to do for all the family, even if, like most families, you have very varied desires.
For holidays to Gran Canaria and other cheap holidays, look no further.
