Parents, Please Don't Let The Media Teach Your Children To Be 'Normal'

Parents, Please Don't Let The Media Teach Your Children To Be 'Normal' My kids and I recently spent a holiday week at an all-inclusive Punta Cana resort and I didn’t spot any other single parents. All around us, families relaxed in the sun. They splashed in the waves. And they stuffed themselves with food from all-you-can-eat buffets. We did much of the same, but the absence of my kids’ “mom” was always explicit. Frontier Airlines’ gate agents and flight attendants seemed surprised as they asked, “just the three of you?” The staff at Melia’s Paradisus Punta Cana Resort was always kind and attentive, but whenever we ordered drinks on the beach or sat at a restaurant, they seemed taken aback by the number three. Apparently, it’s not normal for a dad and his boys to vacation together.
