Good title - can’t wait til half term - always a busy term and made more so by lots of new things.

Much as I would love to go away or persuade DS to go out and do things/meet people I know he ll probably benefit more from catching up on work and gaming

mmzz thanks for new thread - I just caught up with the end of the old one! DS was exactly like that with maths and it's the only reason I'm glad he dropped it!
His school still does an AS level system so technically he's doing 4 AS levels, then dropping down to 3. This has upsides and downsides but basically it means a pretty full timetable!

DD needs to learn the concept of temperature appropriate clothing. Now that drives me up the wall.

I'm in. Morning all. Half term already?

Oh bless you mmmz.

Only me here?

DS1 is driving me mad! He is so up and down.

One minute he's finding the work easy, then he can't do a question and it is sooo impossibly hard, then he takes a break for half an hour, goes back to his desk and finds the question easy after all.

It is the end-of-the-world drama, and then the shrugging, why-are-you-even-asking-me-how-I-got-on, confidence all in the same hour that is wearying on my nerves.
