Is anyone else like me? During the school holidays we (my son and I) have been camping, to various local park(we don't have a back garden) visiting friends, on free council activities, to museums, films, swimming, soft play ..................
When I stopped and thought about it we have been on the go (not frantically) but routinely pretty much all holidays. Today I had a short errand to do and then returned home. The plan, which is generally pretty flexible was to go to a museum later in the day. My son settled down and has been entertaining himself quietly since we came home. I said to him what would you like to do? and he replied stay at home and play. I feel relief but at the same time at the back of my mind, think we should be out enjoying the sun etc etc. Am I alone in setting up these annoying expectations in my mind? Our holiday up to this point has been hugely enjoyable. I am not of the view that what I am doing is right or wrong I just wonder what other people do in their holidays particularly those with an only child.
