DSS1 at Bristol has reading weeks - basically a lecture/tutorial free week in the middle of term. Sounds like half-term to me. His Christmas and Easter holidays are three weeks long, as opposed to the four weeks I had (at the same university) a generation ago. So basically the holidays have been rearranged.
He wants to come home for his forthcoming reading week. The problem is that it does not coincide with his brother and sister's half-term and everyone here in Paris will be at work/busy. I am none too keen on having him hanging around at home all day getting under my feet but he would much prefer to be here than at his mother's (where there is no-one to keep him company).
Am I being terribly mean to feel resentful about this?
