Spin off to another post on EB

I love the school holidays. I love spending time with my children. We don't have enough time to relax and just be with each other. School holidays are our time to wind down and spend quality time together.

I actually hate the end of school holidays when the children have to go back to school. It takes me weeks to adjust each time. Thankfully I know I am not the only person in real life like this but was wondering if there is anyone else on EB that loves school holidays.

I'm with you - LOVE holidays and spending so much quality, relaxing time together.

Loathe when the holidays are over and the horrid morning routine is reinstated.

I like the not having to rush in the mornings and it is lovely when I am on annual leave but I find it hard when I am at work.

Absolutely! Who wouldn't love the slower pace of school holidays? It's wonderful. No rushing around in the mornings, making lunches, doing homework, basing your whole day around the drop off and pick up.

And then there is actually spending time with the kids and doing fun stuff with them.

Yep, I love school holidays.

These are the first holidays that I don't also have summer break.

So now that I'm working FT, I actually see the kids less over the holidays than during term (as they're spending time with their dad, my dad, my mum etc)

SJ: working ft with the new qualifications? Awesome.

I must admit I love school holidays, I have taken the first 4 weeks off, and then go back for the next 3+ weeks, but only 2 days/week.

We are all having a brilliant time

I can't exactly comment in the way that I have kiddos AT school (DS is only 3.5mo) but my DH is a teacher and I have to tell you I am loving the holidays too. It's so nice to have him here with our little boy for the summer. Plus I get a sleep in every second day. Bliss!

I enjoy them when the kids aren't fighting, LOL.

Mostly it's great, even though I'm a SAHM I do feel rushed on school days, especially with after school activities as well. So it's nice to have a break from that!

Love it! We get to do lots of fun things and there's time for craft and home projects. Yesterday the kids played in a tent I made in the garden, had home made ice lollies and DH and I managed to start clearing the shed and I made a skirt for DD. Plus DS can stay up late, so we are star gazing, watching the big bash and torturing him with old comedy from our childhoods!

And it's all done at a leisurely pace instead of having to be rushed as it is in term time.
