I’ve got my first child in reception so school holidays are a new thing to manage. One of the things I was wondering is how much time people generally try to take off together? We’ve always had most of our holiday together and it has hit me that we might not get that again for a decade.
Our broad plan is to have 2 weeks together in the summer and then split the rest of our leave to cover half terms and inset days and use holiday camps for the remainder. We might get the odd day together but my husband and I wouldn’t really see each other on our holidays. Is that normal?
For those who have done all this before (obviously appreciate some people don’t have the choice), have you found it better to have one parent off (and less paid childcare) or more time together but more time in childcare?
