My DC are 8 and 10, I have lots of school gate friends who have been telling me all about the countless activities they have booked to keep their DC entertained over the summer. I on the other hand haven't booked anything.
A combination of being 7 months pregnant and not having a great deal of money means that anything we do is going to have to be very cheap or even better free!
The local rugby club is holding a few free sports activity days for local kids which we will be attending, I'm also planning a few trips to the museum, libray, swimming and park. I have saved a few pounds for a couple of treats so we are going to the cinema on one day and a small theme park on another. On the other hand most of my friends have something booked nearly every day
I do really think though that kids shouldn't haven't to have their whole summer filled with organised acivities, what wrong with just playing in the garden with friends, building dens, riding bikes, etc.
Surely learning how to make their own fun can only be a good thing?
Or am i being really unreasonable and a bit of a tight arse??
