my boys are on 2 weeks holiday and we are now on the 3rd day and well they have drove me round the bend so i have decided tomorrow and friday and next thursday and friday to send them to a ymca club for kids where they go from 730am to 6pm and do all sorts of things like go bowling play footie etc but hubby says im being tight cos they are off school but as i look at it if they were at home i would be spending more money on them taking them here there and everywhere so am i being tight on them, let me know

If they enjoy going there then send them..... sounds like you could all do with the break from each other!! ;O)

No Kylie I dont think you are being mean at all, the boys will have a great time and will probably prefer it to staying at home anyway. Plus they'll be tired when they come home!! LOL Why just the 2 days each week though?? I'd send mine for the full two weeks.... LOL Shaz x

only days i could get in shaz plus u have to pay but i do get 85% back of social security rang them today they said i was entitled and im taking it hubby pays taxes why not hay

i wish my parents done that for me when i was younger kylie.kids get bored at home.3 weeks is a long time and like you said it will cost you a fortune.i think they would love it.lolxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(:

I used to put my boys into a playscheme for 4 weeks of the long summer hols. I think having been organised by other people at school they found it hard to know what to do without me organising them. There are only so many games of Monopoly I can play without going mad! Now they are older, and make their own social arrangements a lot of the time, but I enjoyed their company much more this holiday and we can now do things I enjoy as well as them. Younger son will be 11 next summer and on his last playscheme before 2ndary school! I think if the kids are happy and you're happy that's what matters. nell

why is that being mean, they are having fun, socialising etc, at home they get bored etc. there is nothing worse than being stuck in doing the same old thing, time and time again, children need a variety of things. they'll enjoy it and love it. :-)

Sounds like it could be fun and next holiday they will most likely be beging to go, if more parents found some thing in the holidays kids would be better for it..go for it you should all feel better at the end of the holidays Bev

You're not being mean at all, hon, they get so much out of going to places like that and being with other children.
