So today and tomorrow the house is quiet, because the rugrats are back at school
Anyone else having a nightmare with the Chelsea Tractor Brigade in the mornings?
Do you relish the peace and quiet or do you miss them?
I feel slightly lost and at a loose end, cant face the housework and resisting the urge to pretend they are ill so i can have them home for just one more day!!!!!!!

When my children were younger and still at school i loved the holidays and hated it when they went back to school.
We had so much fun when they were off school and they learnt far more stuff with me than with any teacher in a school and they were far happier with me too !
I always feel sorry for the parents who can't wait for their children to go back school and seem to hate the holidays, so sad for them and their children to think like that !

I'm scared to venture an opinion in the forum these days after being declared extinct, but here goes anyway.
Nellie we will have to agree to disagree. We are looking forward to the kids going back to school. 9 weeks off is a hell of a grind on our own holiday from work, or asking grandparents to fill the gap.
We've been parents for 14 years and in that time we have never had one day when one of us hasn't been at home with our kids until this year.
We love our kids, but everyone needs space at times. Feel sorry and condescending for us all you want, but we can't wait for them to go back to school next week and let us settle into some normality.

My eldest returned to school last week and my youngest started her first day at pre-school a day later.
I am gutted they've gone back, truly gutted, last years summer hols was wiped out due to a poorly man
so this year was to have been uber busy, lots planned, ferries,, places booked, five of the six weeks we
would have been travelling around but things conspired against us right at the start and it all went a
bit pete tong.......
But with everything cancelled it meant time at home only .... and what fun we ended up having, day trips,
sleep overs, bike rides, pictures, swimming, theme parks,
pool parties, bbq, dvd days in and all other such stuff and as 'family time' it's been fantastic with not a single
tear from the bubbas over missing out on a long planned French month long summer holiday.
I/we cherish every single moment spent with the children and time out can and does also occur but normality
in this household is living on the fly, no one day is the same.
So yep i'm sad they have returned to school/started pre-school, jeepers, aint i just, roll on the weekends and
October half term.

Real freedom is when the kids leave home
our furniture has never been so well used
:twisted:
our furniture has never been so well used
:twisted: I have always worked so for me the kids being off or at school has never been much different, ask my parents their opinion and they would probably breath a sigh of relief every time the school holidays have finished and normality reigns in the house once more.
Also I agree with Patrick about the amount of traffic that all of a sudden fills the road at certain times of the day and the fact that mums/dads/childminders will just about squeeze anywhere as long as they are close to the school gates even if it means parking outside of my house so that I cannot park when I get home at or there abouts :-x

i can remember (just about) when i was going to school we walked and it was only when i went to secondary school that a bus was used as the school was many miles away.
a lot of the kids on the estate i live all go to the school which is only about 2 miles away and hardly any walk or mountain bike it. mum or dad drive them and its this sort of lazy kids i see everywhere. only interested in xboxing online swearing at americans during call of duty and eating junk food.
are we just frightened to death that something will happen to them that we dont let them out or has technology made it easy for parents to shut them up with a pizza and video game?
shame, because its knocking years off the kids lives and when they need to get a job they will just sit their living off mum and dad.

I've had 3 families, as in married with kids. I actually don't remember it making a difference whether kids were on hols or otherwise.... well until recently,as I'm now seperated from wife,( that tends to mean my youngest living with me for hols ) when it does mean less sexual encounters, but I can't honestly say that I think that's a bad thing, I mean sex is readily available for any adult wishing to participate.
