| No Images? Click here  I’ve just returned from a week away with my kids, and I have to admit it was alarmingly pleasant. My kids kinda rule. Sure, they have their sibling rivalry, their jealousies, their potty mouths, and—my God—their whining, but when all is said and done, they’re pretty great as they are. Which, to be fair, isn’t entirely shocking, but it’s refreshing to come back from a family vacation and not want to kill anyone.I didn’t even need to turn to #momwine. Nope, no silly wine hashtags for me. So what’s the moral of the story? For me, it’s about taking a beat and just being with your kids. Play the dumb, made-up beach game that makes them entirely too happy. Swim laps in the pool at a snail’s pace to make them smile so wide you think their face might fall off. Embrace these dog days of summer when you could easily run for the hills. These are, after all, the days everyone claims we’ll long for in a decade when we’re allowed to finally sit in a beach chair and read a damn book for longer than 5 minutes at a time.So how do you stay present when you’re with your kids on vacation? What activities have you enjoyed with your kids? And, on a different note, what do you want to hear more about or need help with as a parent? Let me know, as always, and I’ll do my best to get you answers. Find me at katea@huffpost.com.
