Starting to panic about the summer holidays, I’ll be on my own with the kids for 6 weeks. What can we do? They are age 8, 6 and 2. Most things the older kids want to do such as climbing, bowling, trampolining, cinema cannot be done with the 2 year old. I don’t think I could manage a beach day with all 3 of them on my own.
Unfortunately I don’t have anyone else to team up with as my friends are working throughout and sending their kids to clubs every day.
We’ve done all our local parks and national trust places to death during lockdown, similar with crafts, baking etc. Any suggestion of going to a park/national trust is usually met with groaning and whining from the older 2 which really grinds me down!
I find taking all three children out on my own very stressful. Obviously the 2 year old will need constant adult supervision, the older children would go off and play at a park for a short time but it’s stressful trying to keep an eye on all of them especially when it’s very busy.
I’m looking forward to spending more time with them but I’m absolutely dreading the holidays. What can I do???? We’ve only got a very tiny garden too. Can’t afford to put them in clubs/nursery any extra hours.
