Living at the beach is a dream for most of us, every year thousands of tourists come to Playa del Carmen and daydream of leaving everything behind and start a new life. For families, the opportunity to live overseas is a life changing experience: exposing yourself and your children to a new culture and language and living a slower paced life.
But the reality of raising children in a beach town can bring you unexpected challenges, as well as hilarious experiences. Trying to explain some of them to people that does not live at the beach can be a little bit challenging, but we will try!!
- You ignore what their original skin color could be, you saw it when they were born and they have had a permatan ever since.
- Most kids born in Playa del Carmen are not interested in going to the beach, but they love pools.
- Eating sand counts for their fiber intake.
- Wearing shorts and sandals is not considered informal, but it is encouraged even at school and social events.
- Kids love eating all sorts of fruit for snack, as long as they have lime and chili powder on it.
- Your friends and family are worried you are short of money, because you keep posting pictures of your baby wearing only a diaper.
- Your children have never owned a coat.
- Schools have to remind the children about the existence of seasons and the changes that come with them, with photos or videos.
- Playa Del Carmen is one of the few places in the world where you can throw your children in a cave filled with water and not have child protective services taking them away from you.
- Locals takes the winter cold very seriously, a freezing day in winter will require two shirts, a sweater, socks, a scarf and a hat. Even if is only 80 degrees outside.
