My kids are finished for the summer

I need survival tips.

Following...

I don't see why people need "survival tips" to look after their own kids...

Gaffer tape?

What ages are they? Paint (in the garden on an old sheet). Play doh could work if they’re under 10. Every summer I get a roll of lining paper & draw round my dc, they then make clothes for it out of old magazines, fabric scraps, stickers etc. They love doing it & I have them all in the loft from when my eldest was 2 (now 9). It keeps them entertained for a good few hours (they usually keep it going for about 3 weeks doing a bit at a time)

Wow, Quick Draw McGraw with the shaming flag today Love. Impressive.

How old are your kids Dunstarr?

Mine too!

We've started making a list of things we want to do over the holidays. Some free and some more expensive days out, some at home and some that involve going out and about.

How old are they and where do you live?

My youngest finishes at lunchtime today. He is 14 so not expecting to see much of him for the next 7 weeks unless he needs money or food. He may grace me with his presence now and again if I am lucky.

Really don't understand why some posters have to so negative to others,
We all could do with a little helping hand some times, even you I guess lovethetimeyouhave??

Mine break up next Thursday and this is the first year I’ve thought about needing survival tips. I have two teenagers and a 9 year old and boy the bickering that’s going on these days. I’m hoping that once they break up and are a bit less tired and a bit more relaxed they will stop sniping at each other.
