Summer holiday unwritten " laws."

[malificent7]

Tongue in cheek.

There shall be a huge heatwave the last week of school when the kids are too hot to do anything then without fail rain on the 1st day of holidayd followed by a cold spell. Intermittent bad weather for 6 weeks for all those taking a staycation.

The road works start the 1st week of school holidays...great for school run mums; shit for commuters.

Wasps and seagulls will congregate on the beach.

Please add to the list.

Comes home from last day at nursery with covid which spreads through many households (mine, parents, brothers and sisters homes) like wildfire where dc is patient zero in this case ruining many plans and holidays for other family members. Just as we get back up on our feet, little one then has what it looks like urine infection which then we find out it's actually Balanitis😩of course we now have to avoid pools and holidays right now and circumcision is on the cards.

When attending fabulous hotel buffet style breakfasts, your kid will pick one or two items, claiming to be 'fine' and 'not hungry'.

Seven minutes after leaving the hotel they'll want to go into the first shop they see to 'get snacks', none of which will be as fresh or tasty as the HUGE FUCKING SELECTION they just walked away from.

Passive aggressive neighbour that clearly hates kids. Paddling pool shall be placed next to said neighbours wall so they get the occasional splash 😂 this sounds mean. But last year he decided to have a massive go at my partner for something we didn't do.. so revenge!

This made me belly laugh 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

@VittysCardigan so much this!

Kids moan that they're bored 'because you're at work Mum'. Aged 17, 15, 13 btw so old enough to fend for themselves.
I book 3 days off work to 'go places' and spend half the day getting them up and out of the house, listening to them moaning in the car about how they didn't want to go anywhere, eat shitloads of food wherever we go (£££££) then disappear up to their rooms as soon as we get home, to watch shit on YouTube 🤯😫😫

You will continuously remind your daughter to check last years skirt still fits her. She will assure you it is “fine” and you should “stop stressing”. On the Sunday night before return to school she will announce she can’t get it passed her knees and what are you going to do about it. (14 years ago now and a silent thanks to Rachael’s mum who answered a panicked phone call and brought up a spare skirt!)

Lol!

Many years ago, DDad worked in the US for a few months. DM, DSis and I went to visit for an extended holiday, but had to do an assembly about it when we got back (we were 10 and 7).

During the time we were away we went to NASA, Mexico, on an oil rig ground training platform, to a real "cray fish broil line dance" , went to school for a few weeks in Houston, met some actual cowboys etc, etc, etc a real Texan experience. First time we'd crossed the Atlantic, first time DSis had been on a plane. At the end of assembly the headmistress asked "so girls, what was the best bit about going to America?". "Breakfast at McDonalds" we said in unison. DM said she would have happily fallen into a hole in the ground at that point!

Lovely thread. Pigeon poking maggot feste 😂

Child 3 gets chest infection the day after we break up from school. Spends three days on/off nebulizer. Child 2 then gets a random virus and is ill for four days. Child 1 gets then gets a chest infection. 🤦🏻‍♀️
I have spent the holidays so far with my GP. Who is very helpful and sympathetic.

You suddenly decide that actually DP's long-term attitude and behaviour towards you and the children is unacceptable and break up. He leaves.

A day later, your wheelchair breaks and needs a replacement part. Which will take 2-3 days to arrive.

So far we've only left the house to go to GP.

I think I may need a padded cell by the end of the holidays.

💐It'll all be worth it in the end!
