School holidays....

[ummmm]

How's it going?

I have a friend on facebook counting the days....

I give the boys 1 job to do a day. Eldest sons job today is to water the plants (in the garden) and you'd think I asked him to sacrifice a lamb....

Oh well....just another 6 weeks to go...

Struggling to be honest. Mini Boo seems to have developed a real bratty attitude and has spent the majority of her days sulking, throwing tantrums, slamming her bedroom door or just plain crying. It's been ace :-(

I met my SIL and her kids for lunch the other day. 3 days in and they were stir crazy already. I asked how the flip she manages to fill up 6 weeks without everyone trying to batter each by the end of it all.

lol Triggs, brilliant innit?

What's scaring me is that mines developed full on teen behaviour....at 6.

[ummmm]

Good....glad it's not just me!!

The boys had a full on scrap yesterday....over a friggin ipod charger.

Actually....it could have been the day before....they had a scrap over something yesterday.

I'm gonna invite friends round and start taking bets!!

I'm not ashamed to say ive resorted to bribery, behaves for a whole month, we'll buy her a small toy.

Hi!posters.

Line em all up and I will come over and give them a "good thrashing"....that will sort them out....;-)

[annie0000]

that's us 5 weeks in, 2 and a bit to go!

Mine have been fine, but then they have been either at Out of school care or at the sports centre club every day other than when we were off our two weeks - costing me a fortune, but don't have any option. Kids are kept busy so are tired and give me no grief!!!

[ummmm]

Triggs.....I would love my kids to go out that long !!

J would still be in bed but he has to get up at 6.30am for his paper round....

So I have a tired teenager....

When he does go out I guarantee he'll be updating facebook with cheerful stuff....

[ummmm]

How old are yours Annie?

[B00]

Ya know sqad, im sorely tempted!

Mine threw a tantrum the other night triggs because the night before i let her play out on the back street with her friends (i was outside watching her i hasten to add) until 8pm, and the other night she was only out until 7, she felt hard done by because she'd lost an hour.

[Sqad]

BOO...LOL

[annie0000]

Ummmm - eldest was 11 at beginning of month and youngest will be 10 in a week and a half.

[ummmm]

Hahaha BOO....

At least mine are at the age where they can go out....it's just making them do it...

Costs a fortune.....pound here...pound there..

Then I have daughter on the phone asking me if she can borrow my card....can you believe that???!!?

[B00]

How very dare you Triggs, you monster!!! ;-)

Are boys prone to tantrums and sulks and tears as often as girls ummmm?

[ummmm]

Annie....do they scrap. Full on punching and kicking scraps??

[Sqad]

trigger....no problem at all....I'd stuff them in a sheep pen and let them out one by one for their "battering"
