Due to overcrowded agendas, exes or the children do not have time for each other at all. What are you doing then? Fixing it on vacation, these mothers say.
Ronya (39): “Jelle and I have been separated for three years, but we still spend the holidays with our children (6, 8 and 10) together. I still find his often self-centered attitude and laxness in upbringing disturbing in everyday life. But that is not the case on holiday, and I know that after those three weeks I will get rid of it, when everyone goes back to their own house. The holidays together since we divorced have been the best ever so far.”

Fortunately we are on vacation
Lauren (42): “My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. We struggle all year round. It is almost impossible to reconcile his life with his daughter (10) with my life with my sons (11 and 12). In all that time, he and his daughter have only been with me for four weekends. Conversely, we visit him a little more often. But there is always a sports competition in the way, or a busy test week for one of the children.
“There is always a sports match in the way, or a busy test week”
That’s not the case on vacation. Last year we spent four weeks in a house in Corsica. We had such a great time there with the five of us. Luckily our exes are cooperating, so we’re doing it again this year. Thank God, because if we didn’t have this, I wouldn’t know how to base our relationship on the little time we have together.”
