Remember all those years of family holidays? The fights in the car on the way, the sunburn, the awful food, the claustrophobia of spending
days and days with your mum and dad... Tune this February as BBC Lifestyle screens the exciting series The Baby Borrowers On Holiday on DStv.
Airing at from Monday February 16 (20:20 CAT), the series features five teenage couples - all craving independence and a family of their own -
get their long awaited first summer as grown-ups. Living as adults for the first time, they move into their own holiday cottage, and live by
their own rules. For teenagers, holidays are fun. Holidays mean lazy days in the sun and sea, followed by rowdy nights out, before crashing
into bed just before the sun rises.
But it's not quite like that for this lot, because their holiday comes with a painful dose of adult responsibility. They are in for a rude awakening for a never-ending stream of kids; some with pets, others with siblings, all of them with attitude. Far from lazing around topping up their tans on the beach, these teenagers juggle babies and children with sandy nappies, collapsing tents, soggy sandwiches and muddy pets.
In the program, DStv viewers see these teenagers, who are convinced they have it in them to look after children. But what they discover is that,
if it's hard being a parent, it's even harder being a parent on holiday.
In fact, it's not really a holiday at all. Sun kissed dreams fast become a living, sandy, sunburnt nightmare.
Tune in for The Baby Borrowers On Holiday from Monday February 16 (20:20 CAT) on BBC Lifestyle (channel 180) on DStv.
