To want my full six weeks?

[LuvMyBoyz]

I've only had 5 weeks and 3 days off instead of 6 weeks and really notice the difference.

???

Did you post too soon?

Maternity leave? Holiday? What?

TBF, I'd be pissed off if someone stole 4 days off me.

I know what you mean... plus iv been in all week setting up. Happy new year!

Assuming we're talking about annual leave - book it off then.

Are you a teacher? YABU. You get enough holidays as it is .

We only had 5 weeks and 2 days-I feel cheated.
I am not ready to go back

I think she means the summer holidays...

Sorry. I'm a teacher and we usually have a six week holiday but this year it has only been 5 weeks and 3 days. Could do with the other 2 days.

Teacher?

Gutted for you - no really I am....

Ah, ok. I'm a SAHP so every day is a holiday for me.

JOKING, JOKING, before the po-faced brigade kick off...

X-post but don't think you'll get much sympathy

Hahaha. Nope, YABU, sorry.

I might get sympathy from fellow teachers?

5 weeks 2 days here too. But A Level results exactly 3 weeks after end of term and GCSEs last week so have actually already been in daily for two and a half weeks

Surely you'll just get those days added on to other holidays?

Actually I felt robbed of time with my dc. Why were the holidays shorter this year does anyone know?

Do you mean your dc school only had five weeks holidays this year? I ask because my boys school only had five weeks this year and I have certainly noticed the difference. I know I know it's only a week what difference does a week make! But I think it does. They had a week at home a fortnight holiday two weeks at home and now they're back on Tuesday. Just doesn't seem long this year. So if that is what you meant then yanbu!

What teacher ever takes the full 6 weeks off anyway? ive been in school about 2 of the 6 weeks plus some prep at home.

Don 't worry, it will be half term in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, as a teacher, surely you didn't have any time off? I thought all teachers worked through the holidays, lesson planning etc?

Just seen your last post! So I was right.

I know you get a lot of holidays in schools but when it's time with your own children it matters.
Sorry you had less this time round.

Oh! Classic cross post!

I think it felt so bad because it always takes a week to relax after the stress of the last few weeks. In effect this year that meant we were 'two weeks in', DH then had two weeks off.
I have been doing housework all this week.
I need MORE time.
