Summer holiday moan

On week 6 of summer holidays here in Scotland and am I unreasonable to think this is just too long?
kids are climbing the walls. My budget on holidays, clubs, snacks spent. Patience spent. I work too and am at the end of my tether. Husband works full time but deals with no laundry, cooking, shopping etc. my house is literally falling apart and needing work and can’t get a thing done trying to entertain two kids. plus the weather has been shit.
how are others coping? Is it all arts and crafts or are others at breaking point and about to open the gin.

hes at work and I’m part time- meaning I’m naturally doing more domestic stuff as I’m in the house but during the holidays the house is a tip it’s all piling up so standards have dropped.

I’m closer to the gin bottle than the hot glue gun. We’ve had a horrible tummy bug this week, the weather has been horrendous and tempers are fraying. I’ll be very glad to get back into our usual routine next week.

Why doesn't your husband help with anything?
