Things I’ve learnt when taking an 18 month old abroad:

1) your suitcase needs to be 90% snacks. Don’t ask. Just listen and take it from us who had under packed 🙃 2) if you’re travelling with other toddlers, your toddler will show you hellish amounts of jealousy that you didn’t know was possible. You’re not allowed to say “hi“ to other kids unless you want a tantrum 🥰 3) you will need a holiday after the holiday. 4) your kid might not like water surprisingly & you would have bought swimming nappies & swimming costumes for fashion purposes only. 5) again, you will need a holiday after the holiday. Feel free to add more. I can’t believe I can’t wait to be back in the UK 😮‍💨

At that age it turns into parenting abroad rather than a holiday 😂😂

😂😂😂 we’re off to Jamaica in a few weeks. I already feel like we’re going to need a holiday after!

When I’m brave enough for an abroad holiday wherever I’m going is going to have a kids club 🤣

It's 100% parenting abroad but it's also the best!

@Emma oh 100%, same shit, different location!

@Lisha book it chick, don’t even think for another moment 😮‍💨

@Josie yup, you deserve that 2 hour breather! You’ll need it 😂

@PJ oh she’s been definitely so happy on this holiday with all our friends & their toddlers the same age, but you blink & the next minute one of them is trying to dive headfirst into the shallow end 🙃

And your partner is nowhere to be seen

😂

My little one hated the pools and sea but I don’t blame her as they were absolutely freezing! Also I forgot how much I dislike eating out with a toddler and we had to do it for 3 meals a day for a week 😬😫

Oh god, we go away next week for 10 nights!! Going to do a snack shop on Tuesday and literally feel up a cabin bag with food haha x

@Han this is going to be so backhanded but this secretly makes me feel a bit better to know we’re not the only one experiencing this! The pool was intolerable too at our hotel 😮‍💨 hope they both become water babies soon. Oh yeah, definitely let them run wild before putting them in their highchair. She hated being in one every moment abroad 😭

@Lauren if you think you’ve packed enough, pack more 😂 defo recommend yoghurt pouches and breadsticks, always a hit!
