My DS is coming toward the end of his first year in reception. He's 4 at the moment. Turning 5 soon.
He's just gone back to school after a half term. I love him to pieces but the thought of being with him 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday with no break for six weeks scares the hell out of me. I just can't cope. He can be a handful. But I also have MH issues which makes it harder for me.
By 10am during half term week I was ready to call DH home from work and walk out. I was exhausted mentally.
Considering booking DS into a holiday club two days a week every week during the summer holidays. Perhaps even three days a week alternating two days a week.
He doesn't like sport and is very shy but I've found a club that does activities I think he'll really enjoy and hope will benefit him as well as giving me a break.
I just feel bad about it. Also worry that I'm potentially taking a space away from a working parent who needs it for childcare.
So AIBU to book him in?
