I want to wind down for summer but the school is organising so many events I'm feeling resentful. I have four kids at three different schools and in the next 2 weeks have:
2 x summer sports
2 x teddy bears picnics
2 x splash days
2 x special mention assemblies
1 x school bbq
1 x school family 'fun' day
2 x painted contribution for leaving tachers car
4 x Presents for teachers (not really optional)
...and that's just the stuff I can remember. I also have a 5 month old at home who's teething. What about all my cooking, shopping and laundry - not to mention mumsnetting.
I wish schools would b*gger off and leave me and my family alone.
