Love spending time with my dd's, and ds loves having his sisters around so leaves my side more often...

YANBU - mind you, I'm a teacher.

[Disclaimer - I love teaching but I have so enjoyed being able to spend all day every day for two weeks with my dd]

ChippingIn · 15/04/2009 23:19

me as well... counting down till the summer break now

gigglewitch · 15/04/2009 23:22

oi, Chipping, we've got Whit first so hopefully we only have to count to 6 or 7 [weeks] not aaaages

I agree the monotony of the school run does my head in.

Not foreer but a bit longer, first week they had workshops, had a great weekend but now they are at their dads, wish I had had more sunny days to waste away the hours with them, once they get home it will be all school bags and new school shoes.

SlartyBartFast · 15/04/2009 23:26

me too, sigh
however rain is forecast for hte next 2 days
but it is great isnt it?
lazing around,
have the dc's company. etc,

OhYouBadBadKitten · 15/04/2009 23:34

I wish they could go on for ever too. dd is so much happier and more relaxed and I'm less grumpy. But I don't get much done.

flossiemay · 16/04/2009 00:35

i've loved being with my ds. he's ace.

twinsetandpearls · 16/04/2009 00:48

I have loved being at home but am looking forward to going back to work.

ChippingIn · 16/04/2009 00:48

gigglewitch - sorry, yes I know, but it's only a week so it barely counts... [pout emoticon]

Phoenix4725 · 16/04/2009 08:30

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

am looking forward to getting bit of peace

YABU. If they went on forever it would mean that us home educators wouldn't get the pleasure of having trips to places that aren't crowded.

Last week- on Dartmoor, with two healthy and happy children, sunshine, ponies, fun- I'd have said YES, I'm with you 100%. Families need to be together!

This week- dd incapacitated so I can't leave the house, ds climbing the walls- no, you are totally wrong. Children need an education! Or, to be exact, I need ds out from under my feet.

KimiAteTooManyEasterEggs · 16/04/2009 09:04

I love the school hols, we are having a lovely time, been swimming twice, been to see 2 films, went to visit my mum, had friends round for games day, DS2 went to his friends for the day, we had a wonderful Easter, went roller blading and played mini golf, did painting and just had a lovely time. Boys are going to see monster truck show Friday.

I am longing for the summer hols to come now

mrsmalumbas · 16/04/2009 09:07

Me too - I like it so much I am thinking of making it a permanent arrangement and home educating..Mind you I must admit it's not all about spending time with the DD's, I think it's also the freedome from the tyranny of the school lunchbox, ironing, having to be out the door at a certain time, etc etc.
