Adina tells:

Every summer, my husband and I go [travel] on a ten day vacation, usually up north to
the Galilee.
We have three children.

Two of them are already grown up [lit. big], and in the recent years they don't join us.

We have a younger daughter, five years old, that everyone loves and spoils.

Her name is Yifat.

Last year we left her at (her) grandmother's and we traveled alone.

This year we decided to take her with us on vacation.

Grandma isn't feeling so well, and we thought we'd enjoy spending time with our daughter
on Kinneret beach, and that she will have the opportunity to change the routine and see
places she hasn't seen before.

Already from the first moment of the decision, disappointment and irritation started.

When I told her that we are taking her on vacation, I expected that she will be very happy,
but she didn't look so happy.

She started asking about her friends, what "will be" with them when she won't be able to
see them, what will be with the toys, and what will be with grandmother, and more
questions that didn't show much enthusiasm.

In the days in which I was busy with preparations for the trip, she'd disturb me nonstop
[without end].
I told her: "Yifat, sweetheart, I am packing things for our trip, please don't disturb", but

she didn't stop taking out of her closet clothes, toys, books and what not.
After three days such as this, the atmosphere in the house became tense and angry, and in

the end Yifat said: "I don't want to go, I will stay alone at home".
My husband and I were able to influence her, but I am afraid that our vacation will start
on the wrong [left] foot.
I don't understand why instead of being happy – she is aggravating me.
