I travel quite a bit for work, and my kids are 1 and 4. Sometimes I can’t wait to get away from the house of toddler chaos and get to a bed where I can just sleep blissfully alone. But once I see their faces on video chat from my hotel room I miss them so much and just want to go home.
Give me another week at home however and I’m itching to get out of there again. Anyone else feel this?
I feel like this is the cycle of parenting. It’s so hard to know how to interact with them, but as frustrating as it is, you want it back.
