Rest with children or from children
Can parents fully relax, taking restless children with them to rest? After all, they require constant attention: they need to be watched for, God forbid: they do not swim over buoys or bellied uncles, do not step on a lurking sea urchin or a sprawling aunt, do not get a lizard tail on the forehead, or a board surfer.
