If Jersey Shore Family Vacation skewed a little closer to how the original series filmed its beach-adjacent seasons without any location changes or nearly as much behind-the-scenes drama delaying productions, then maybe it would be easier for Polizzi to figure out a schedule that allowed her to be with her kids for larger chunks of time.
As it is, though, Jersey Shore Family Vacation left the shore life behind in order to make traveling part of the fun, and that’s a big part of why Snooki has been unable to see her children as often.
