Day 4? We’re day 17 out of 78 days

Week 1: horror. Kids belief this myth that holidays = I can do whatever I want. And that doesn’t work

Week 2: better the first 5 days

Kids start holiday end of June and it goes until the 2nd week of September.

My favourite replies are “no” and “suck it up buttercup”. Second one I got from a friend who has two super lovely girls already in university

Day 17? We’re in month 2. Somehow we’re alive, but it’s grandparents week and my 3 year old has magically decided he doesn’t wanna spend the week at grandparents house

What I’m trying this year

- no camp? Library first thing in the morning for 2 hours and without phone
- done other stuff than loafing around? Weekend trip in Sep/Oct
- acceptable curfew adapted to the local culture with clear rules of how to get an exception

Last year I had other kids over nearly every day, sand everywhere because of the beach, not announced white nights etc. There was a lack of “meeting in the middle” and respecting that I don’t have 10 weeks off

Lol yes this is a shared mindset with my child

All rules and routine out the window
