Traveling more often is important for your health and happiness.

Yes, and I will.

Now and then, here and there, remorseful moments invade the spirit of every parents. Today, I am regretting the lack of connection between my daughter and myself. Children (often) behave in an unacceptable manner. We remind them that they are wrong and why, correct them or punish them if necessary. But when they repeat a particular type of wrong behavior over and over, there's a subliminal, hidden message directly thrown at us. A message that they are not even aware of.

She cannot phrase it. She doesn't understand why she snaps. It's beyond her control now. But is it beyond mine? She is 7 years old and she is too young for me to give up. She is telling me somthing important. She wants me and she needs me in a way that I am not delivering. There is an aspect in her relationship with her mother that needs to be identified as a problem. Proper solutions and a mutual acceptance are needed, IMMEDIATELY.

So I am taking my daughter on a short trip. Forget daddy and the baby for just 2-3 days. We are off to.... I don't know. the Disney Land? Asterix Land?
Somewhere nice and quiet. London. That's it. I am taking her to London.

I do not expect this trip to fix us. But I have a feeling that we need a time together and it will give us just what we need. I miss my daughter and I have a feeling that she's been missing me a lot longer than I suspect.
