Like most full time working parents I work most of the school holidays.
I've done it for years. I am also a lone parent. I have struggled with it. It is how it is and I get on with it.
Book club - 6 women. 3 work full or nearly full time, 2 work term-time, 1 home educating.
Every sodding school holiday we get a "phew...made it to the end of half term/term...can't wait for some time off" from one of the term-term workers.
My sister who KNOWS my situation was "Oh lucky you getting 2 weeks for 1/2 term".
I've had 2 emails from school today saying they hope I had a lovely 1/2 term.
Actually, I had one day off which was nice. The rest of it was just more juggling than usual, so nothing lovely really.
