What’s in this trip for her sister?!
Barney looks so uncomfortable in any photos on their holidays. He looks overwhelmed. He looks disinterested. 9/10 he’s strapped into a buggy either asleep, bored or watching a phone. What is the point? It’s like forcing your square child into a round hole. It’s clearly not a place for him right now. He’s young & he clearly has a few developmental things going on. Take him on a relaxed holiday to the sea side, let him enjoy a quiet beach. Let him go at his pace somewhere where he isn’t contained in a buggy constantly, overwhelmed with massive crowds & high energy. I’ve watched toddlers at Disney & I’ve seen them really engage with it. But Barney doesn’t seem too at all. God forbid he dislikes Disney as he gets older. They’d probably have a better time themselves too!
They went for lunch & ‘the cartoons kept him in his pram & eating his food’ .. are you kidding me?! Get him the hell out his pram, sat in a high chair & interacting with the grown ups. Colouring a picture. Playing with toys. YES, my kids watch my phone out for lunch/dinner occasionally, more so when they were younger but never the entire meal. My youngest is a few months older than Barney & she’s playing with toys, stickers & colouring in cafes since she was much younger. I’m honestly no martyr, my kids watch loads of TV but when we are out & about and I’m paying money to do activities, the screens stay at home. Otherwise, why bother paying to do stuff at all?!
