6 weeks holidays

6 weeks, I mean come on, 6 sodding weeks of kids running around screaming and stuff will do my nut in .

I mean don't get me wrong, I love kids, I have 3 girls that have grown and flown now.

When they were little and had 6 weeks off school I made sure they were occupied and not running the streets, you know clubs, outings, stuff to do in the house when it rained etc etc.

But today's kids, I know not all kids, but the little buggers round here are just let to climb the garages and sheds, and generally just run a muck terrorising the neighbourhood.

Is it just me and I'm getting old or am I not the only one that dreads the 6 weeks holidays.

They ruin my nice quiet walks, and invade the nice quiet pub gardens with there screaming, don't get much of a problem with the teens, its the 6-7 years olds There is a reason I don't have kids!!!!!

mt nphews school is getting 7 weeks off

7 weeks thats just criminal

Mine have already been off for a week (my son for 3 weeks!) and now I've got another 6 weeks of em!

>< i feel for you mrs caryll i'm thinking about jumping on a train tomoz and staying away for 8 weeks >

hate it - the tubes and london is full of them cocky teenagers, plus mine as well

The worst thing we have here at the mo is groups of tourists, and I mean like a school class, in uniforms roaming the town, there so noisy! I am getting old!

i know what you mean (not being old cause you are still a spring chicken)

They broke up today round here, but mine are in 6th form. So my son, who's just finished upper 6th finished after his exams & is now sweating on his results for uni, and my daughter started upper 6th work after the exams & finished last week till september!

So yours aren't kids really, and hopefully have been brought up properly! Wish them all the best for results....................

fingers crossed for your sons results it must be a stressful time for you as well

No, my son's 18 (still seems odd offering him a drink!) and my daughter's 17!

*mental note - must stop calling them kids!*

My son's pretty laid back. He gets his results on 18th August & if they're not good enough he'll stay on & re-take. The tutors have already said that they'd be happy for him to.

thats good my eldest son had to re take as well but it worked out well in the end he got a good job and is earning very good money

que sera is my saying

Even I hate the school holidays and I'm a 'kid' loads of little kids like screaming outside your window at like 8 o'clock in the morning -.-

on the good side you can spend all day with maxi

Yeah I was anyway though because I was of for months for various reasons

big hugs

Thanks
