A reader writes to Annie regarding Spring Break, stating that it has become a referendum on her marriage every year. She and her spouse, who have school-aged children, cannot agree on what spring break should look like, and often times this week turns into a mix of pressure, money stress and hurt feelings. The author suggests that if they're not traveling, they're "wasting" the week, they argue about "making memories" and "making a difference." Suggestions for a simpler plan include day trips, fun outings, and a special outing. Make sure that no matter what you choose to do, your kids feel cared for and do not come home broke and burned out.
