Okay so the question is "How do most mothers who aren't employed outside the home & who don't receive a salary for their work cope with the full on six week school summer holiday stint?"
I'm two days in and I have resorted to coming into the study to log on and down load onto typepad so as not to scream my head off at the children. Why do they argue so much and have so much agression and pent up anger inside them? No matter what combination I choose; Naomi & Elliot, Naomi & Simeon, Naomi & Hope, Elliot & Simeon, Elliot & Hope, Simeon & Hope, there will be conflict of varying degrees during the day.
I feel like I'm in a war zone and I'm trying to be a peace envoy (not that I have any actual experience and it's probably nothing like that really so scrub that analogy). I have had to take my own time out, to chill out and re-group my brain.
I suppose that I had better re-enter the fray! It is no small wonder that mothers need to get together, for support, a shoulder to cry on, for decent normal conversation, for the children to have others to play with and learn to co-operate with, for companionship, for friendship and understanding. So later I am hoping to head to the park and get together for a picnic with some other school mums. Please Lord keep the rain away long enough, because otherwise I know that I'll cry.
