Feeling fed up that I'm stuck in work most of the summer. I am in a new ish job , so stuck on base holiday allowance.
Had to write a spreadsheet of DDs childcare schedule and stick it on the fridge. I have about 6 days off in the whole 7 weeks (odd days not together).
Dropped her off at MILs the other day, it was a beautiful sunny day and they were off to a petting zoo/park and I felt sad I couldn't be there. She's at holiday club today. I miss her!
Job not very well paid and doesn't feel like it's worth missing all these weeks for!
I have never been able to WFH.
Wondered if there's many others in the same position?
Solidarity 👊

It sucks but unfortunately an awful lot of parents are in the same boat. We have 2 weeks off but apart from that will be working.
I don't know anyone apart from SAHP, teachers or people on term time only contracts who don't work most of the summer holidays.
Today my DC are with my parents.
And yes I can WFH, but that does actually mean working not skiving having a lovely time with the DC for 6 weeks!
