FAMILY - We spent a week in skiing and it was only relaxation, fun and happiness ... Enivorous euphoria, perfect perfection.
Who believes me?So yes, we spent a week on skiing and we lived relaxation, fun and happiness.But not only, you can imagine.Nothing is ever so ideal, apart from the interiors and lives of certain influencers ...
First, holidays in general, and ski in particular, require anticipation and organization.You don't go to the mountains as you go to the beach.
Do you want to tell your story?Did an event in your life show you things differently?Do you want to break a taboo?You can send your testimony to testimony@huffost.fr and consult all the testimonies that we have published.To find out how to offer your testimony, follow this guide!
As much, when the children are small, each outing is an expedition with a big changing bag, the one that looks like the magic bag of Mary Poppins, the magic less: layers, comforter, pacifier, taste, xanax, hat, clothes ofSpare, glasses, toys, baby carrier ... But even when your little ones have grown up, skiing requires rigor.
And generally-always-always, it is a mom who sticks to it: to think of everything for everyone.A classic.A basic.A must.The insidious mental load Rode ...
PublicitéSo, you know if you follow me closely, darling does not have both feet in the same fang.He helps, he does, he participates.He is a modern man.But who says modern, let's be honest, says: a man less macho than yesterday and more than tomorrow.
La question, je vous l’écris, n’est pas de savoir s’il est capable de le faire. Evidemment qu’il l’est. La question est précisément de savoir si l’homme en général fait les choses quand il a (l’extrême chance d’avoir) une femme.
Et je vous laisse deviner la réponse (Attention, j’ai parfaitement conscience qu’il y aura toujours des exceptions pour confirmer la règle. Et si vous pensez vivre l’exception, je vous dis “tant mieux!” Mais en êtes-vous si certaines mesdames?).
So man can, he knows, and he would do so if he had no choice.But why does he have a choice?Because he has a woman?Or because the woman takes matters into her own?
Je suis en partie responsable, car finalement je n’imagine pas le laisser faire.
Est-ce que c’est dû à mon tempérament? Ou tout simplement sommes-nous formatés ? Quelle que soit la raison, les faits sont là. Toutefois très relativisés par l’âge de mes enfants, les faits se sont imposés à moi.
Prepare ski clothes
I delegated the part where we have to take out all the surf boards from darling in front of the hatch, squat to enter the attic, clean the spider canvases with its hair and take out the 27 suitcases of ski ski business(Well, in fact there were only 5 or 6).
On the other hand, I imposed the trial session.And to be very effective, I made a list of essentials: beyond the combi, you have to make sure you have the socks, the neck, the gloves, the t-shirts, the masks ...
And hop, I check what is missing.I ask friends and family to find out if we can lend us.And then I bring the child to buy what is missing.
Provide clothes, quite short, and the necessary
My children could manage well but the place is counted in the car.So I gave them a list with the minimum.And despite that, I was still entitled to "I forgot my hair and toothbrush, can you buy me?"».It must be said that I had not listed the contents of the toilet kit.I thought "toiletries" would be enough.I'm still naive.
It was necessary to remind the little one to take her game console which would have remained on the sofa and her homework (which would have stayed in the room, you think well).
And I naturally made the luggage inspection but now only for the youngest.This allows you to remove too much from that and not forget this.
Predict
Torchon, dishwasher tablets (already a luxury), trash bags and PQ, sponge and dishwashing product: just to have to buy everything you need on site.But still, board games, cameras, leaves and pens, chargers, identity papers ... but also the first liter of milk that will help out before we do the races and the small box of matching chocolate powder, the sunscreen, the ski school notebook ...
PublicitéThink of menus and program
So this year, we went to the restaurant or snack a few times.But in general, I plan the menus.This allows you not to climb unnecessarily, not buy for nothing (and have either to waste or to bring back) and not ask yourself the question either.
Even if we ski every day and almost all day when the virus allows (last year was a discovery of the mountain differently. A treat!), We must take some information.For example, for this stay, we planned to enjoy the longest toboggan run in France.This is a little anticipated: place, price, timetables ... But for the place, I admit, I am the absolute photo: no sense of orientation, my man is my compass.Besides, I let myself be carried about the slopes and ski lifts that we borrow.This is at least one element that does not come to weigh on my mental charge.
What about security?
By that I mean everything that preserves the precious body of my children.
Sun cream (you had to think about buying it, bring it but also to spread it on bits).Employed in our hats, I sometimes forgot.I confess.
The neck which becomes a beard, the hat and the gloves: sometimes you still have to repeat.
Warnings: “Be careful!Don't go too fast!Look long before crossing a track ... "And so many others who are subject to discussion.Chéri finds me too cautious (well, he would say pessimistic) and the children are right.But I can't help but take care of their integrity and especially since darling is more relaxed on the issue.
The return
We made sure not to scatter too much.Darling and I have almost succeeded.It must be said that five in 30 square meters (and it's already not bad), it is better to be a little disciplined.But in children, it was a little more free style.So you have to tell them, then repeat them, insist and rereredire to put everything well.Do not forget anything.Check in the bathroom.
PublicitéYou will have guessed it (and you certainly do the same): I went behind.And I rushed a little and I found 2 or 3 things which, without my intervention, were going to prolong their incognito stay (well, incognito ... until it lacks).
And once at home, you have to start all over again with the little extra: washing machines.Unpack, bake in the machine (after 48 hours, I am already at 5 or 6 washes and there are many left), extend, fold, sort by person and put away in the suitcases.I will certainly once again delegate the passage in the attic.
And then I will find a pair of socks or a t-shirt that has escaped the attic because the child will have thrown him in a corner of his room before going down days or weeks later.
The mental charge is a reality that evolves.Slowly.And I am not the most to complain.
However, and because we are used to assuming, it is not enough to spoil the special moments.And this stay was special.Probably our last vacation at five ...
Come on, I leave you, I have a linen that awaits me.
