He doesn’t know it yet but now that we’re on day 2 of our holiday, I’m planning how to relocate 😜! Anyone else do this on vacation? Same story every time we go away! Just currently googling schools in the area 🙈😭. Having the best time in Cyprus. Will share more reels, pics and stories soon, been taking in the beautiful homeland, swimming, reading, managing three children’s different itinaries, seeing family and taking advantage of having the grandparents here for back up! #vacation #holiday #fyp #relatable #explore dad daddydaughter daddysgirl daddy honestparenting mamaproblems themotherload trendingaudio motherhooduncensored motherhoodlens father fatherhood fatherofdaughters fatherofsons over40 honestmom honestmotherhood
