Nobody tells you this about taking a big family vacation...
Your family loves being together. That’s why you’re taking the trip. But Mom may also need 20 minutes where nobody asks her for a snack, a ride, or the Wi-Fi password.
A great big-family house gives you places to gather and places to disappear for a minute. Loving your family and needing quiet can absolutely coexist.
