My number one life hack as a parent on vacation is the trade-off: We each get the same number of blocks of time when one parent is in charge and the other gets to go off and do their thing or recharge. In New York last month, this meant my daughter and husband had a swimming date at Tompkins Square Park, while I hung out at a cafe and made a beeline for J. Crew and Trader Joe’s (neither of which are in Canada!)
