Did a tarot reading for a woman who had just had a holiday weekend with her brother and his kids, and it was relentless. No naps, no breaks, just non stop fun/activities/ action for two days. At the end, she and her husband and two kids were wrecked. She said to me, she felt like she is failing. She would never do that many activities on a normal break. And she could tell, by her nephews actions, that this was all regular for them.
I said people and families really do have different energy levels. And maybe a family with 3 boys, 8 - 12, just knows that if they don't run them ragged, there will be tears before bedtime. (that strikes me as a very Australian phrase, though I'm sure you know what I mean.)
Anyways, people, families, groups have different energy levels and the trick is to make sure your family, person, group is running at its optimum level and not comparing it to other groups. This is from someone who when I have people over for Sunday brunch, I am very grateful to nap in the afternoon and no way will I go out that night for dinner.
