Because quite frankly their reaction makes me feel like I am!!!
So coming up to the end of our 2nd week of school holidays and dd1 (9), dd2 (6) and ds1 (3) have spent most of their time so far playing in the garden. This is great I have loved it. I have also taken them on walks, to the cinema, to a museum and to an art gallery to do crafts. We have had picnics and been out for lunch, o and both dd's have done a dancing holiday club for 3 half days.
Today they have got up and they don't know what to do with themselves, I have asked all 3 of them to play upstairs so I can get some bits done (we are going camping tomorrow so I need to pack/clean etc) the reaction from all 3 was one of utter shock. You'd think I'd asked them to cut their own arms off or something. Since I asked one of them has been back downstairs at least every 10 minutes, can we play out, can we watch TV, can we go on the tablet, is it lunch time, can we go to the park.....
How I'm supposed to get anything done I do not know.
So is it U for me to expect them to entertain themselves inside for the morning?
