I’m trying really hard to stop getting so hung up about constantly doing ‘stuff’ with dc during the school holidays. I have a big age gap between my dc - two little ones and one teen. The teen in particular I worry about as he seems to spend a lot of time alone during holidays. The first week I was at work. Youngest dc are at private nursery.
Over Easter weekend we did some stuff at home. Eldest and I have been to the gym a few times. We did a day at a national trust all of us. Also had a few days at the coast. On one free day I took all kids to the next town along for a nice lunch and some shopping. But that’s really been it. Eldest has spent loads of time in his room, in the garden, at the park. Hasn’t seen friends that much although does game online with them, he genuinely seems to prefer being alone. Life is very hectic and a constant juggling act. I worry that he is slipping under my radar a bit. I have previously always tried to book days off in holidays to go to the cinema or do something just us two. But haven’t managed to do it this time. Does this sound ok? He seems happy enough but I just wish I had more time with him.
