Mira Rajput’s recent post on Instagram can’t get any more real or relatable for all moms.
In her post, she shared what travelling with kids actually looks like and why it’s a tough business.
Posting a video of her walking like a diva to crashing on the bed, she documented how a holiday with kids begins vs how a holiday with kids ends, and we are sure this is something every mom will relate to.

She wrote, “Holiday + Kids =? While we’re all back to virtually holidaying and zoom parties, I couldn’t help but remember the zillion and one mixed feelings I had while travelling with my kids.
It’s great 1-1 bonding time, we get to indulge in long lazy breakfasts together with no rules, a lot of pool time, and doing kiddie activities in various places together and seeing their faces light up. The kid in me just comes alive and I have so much fun doing all those things with them.”

Elaborating on the perils, she further wrote, “BUT. It’s a tough business. For kids below a certain age, they can feel overwhelmed which starts a dominos effect on the entire trip, it also requires A LOT of planning in advance, food stops, and patience for unexpected changes in plans. It also calls for crazy packing (which you know I dislike anyway) and even with lists just gets tedious. I’m also so tired towards the evening that as much as I want to go out I struggle to put some heels on.”
The need to normalise talking about the perils of motherhood is real

Talking about her preferred location, she wrote, “I much preferred a destination like the Maldives which has a relaxed pace and not too many things to check off the FOMO list. Crazy with, crazier without I guess? What do you guys think?”
Needless to say, travelling with kids comes with a whole lot of responsibilities. Kids work like clockwork, so it can be tiring, challenging, and at times even frustrating. Let’s normalise talking about the perils of motherhood and not consider it as a duty.
