Who invented half term holidays??

[lainey1802]

My DS is 15 and my middle child 11 and youngest 2 1/2yrs, and I hate the holidays - its official!!!!
I find I am housebound apart from when I can get SS to cough up a bit of extra help for agency help.
With a wheelchair and a pushchair and an 11 year old (Kevin!) it's not a pleasant time to go out for walks or even visit the supermarket - it's just stressful!
Who invented these holidays - that's what I want to know - they are not holidays for us - I am still doing nappies for my youngest and oldest and it's hard work - can I start a petition to cancel all holidays from now on???

A man - it must have been!

heehee. I had to take 15 and 13 yo boys to the dentist. I was in my wheelchair and carer pushed dd (4) in her wheelchair.
Must say I did grump all the way there and did grump the dentists room wasn't big enough to fit us all in.
I don't mind the teens home but its tough with dd (she has CP) on the days when there is no agency carer.

sorry but I love half term, no 6 oclock wake up

apparently round here, they didnt used to close special schools at all. Long gone are those days

someone needs to tell dd not to wake at crack of dawn
