My husband's at work this week and the kids are having their first full week of the holidays. We're going on holiday for two weeks as a family next week, so I was kind of thinking of just chilling at home, getting things ready etc. However he has just been going on about it being good for the kids to do some stuff this week, not 'just going to the park for a couple of hours' things like going to London to the museums, etc. I'm trying to save for our holiday and know a trip to London on the train would be expensive tiring and stressful. We're knackered, I'm recovering from shingles and the boys have had a busy year at school. Feeling guilty now for wanting to stay at home, and like I need to go into the swimming pool etc as well. Feeling a bit like a bad mummy, but why can't we just relax at home? He says they'll just play on the computer / tablet all day but I would have boundaries with it, and they have kindles for reading which they like. I think, he's jealous as he has to work because he keeps saying he'd gladly swap with me and he'd take them out to things etc. I suggested the nearby museum having some free craft things on, but he said that would be boring (at the dinner table, thanks for that). Why does everything need to be super exciting, and stimulating. Or am I being unreasonable?
