I have SC 8, 9 and 10. We have them for half their school holidays so 6.5w a year (plus during term time).
In the past, DP and I have juggled our working patterns to minimise putting SC in paid childcare. We each get 4 weeks holiday and we did a week abroad all together, so I was doing 2.5 weeks a year of childcare by myself, leaving me .5 to myself (sometimes a few days more depending on bank holidays).
Circumstances have changed and I don’t want to do it anymore. AIBU?
