Single Mums take a holiday

November 29, 2008

Being a single parent dad or mum can be tough, especially when it comes to taking holidays. However it need not be hassle for single mums any more with service set up to help single mothers with getting away on holidays. Single Dads, you may just need to wait till I find a similar site!

  • Do you find it difficult to plan holidays to suit all the family?
  • Do you return from family holidays without feeling rested?
  • Do you love spending time away with the kids, yet find you yearn adult conversation?
  • Would you like to know how you could have a more enjoyable and relaxing holiday?

Taking the children on holiday is hardly a break when you’re on your own – we know it can be more stressful looking after them when you are away from home. As a sole parent, it is natural to focus on the children’s needs and make sure they are having fun, and it can be difficult to find a way to take time out for yourself.

This is where Buddies4Travel can help. They provide a service to match you with another single-parent family so you can go on holiday together.

Its such a great Idea for single parents, if you combine forces with someone else in similar circumstances, you and the children can benefit from making new friendships and make the holiday a more enjoyable and relaxing experience for everyone.

  • You will benefit from adult company and have someone to share the load.
  • You and your travel buddy (or buddies) can take turns looking after the children, freeing yourself up for some rare “you” time. How about some shopping, or a session in the spa?
  • You and the other mother(s) can share the cost of a babysitting service and treat yourselves to an evening together.
  • You will feel more relaxed, benefiting not only yourself but also the children.
