BEING a parent today comes with an invisible, constant hum of noise, such as managing work, home, childcare and everything in between. And while the idea of a relaxing, week-long holiday sounds ideal, for many parents, it simply is not feasible. Between school runs, toddler moods, childcare duties or financial commitments, traditional vacations have quietly taken a backseat.
But, that does not mean parents are not carving out time for themselves. In fact, a new lifestyle trend is emerging among exhausted mums and dads, known as micro-getaways. These tiny escapes, sometimes as short as a few hours or a night away, are becoming an increasingly popular way for parents to rest, recharge and return to their families feeling just a little more human.
