Just because you'll miss it some day does not make the struggle easier today.
(This is meant to be funny, but once more just in case the people in the back didn't get it: don't add to someone's current load by adding guilt and sadness about their future.)

If you are struggling to make your holiday happen with your littles "helping" you, just remember that they will grow up and leave someday and you will be able to get things done much faster.
