When I was younger, I had my child in day care when I had to work. Later on, I was able to work my hours around her school and holidays. It's hard when a women works and her children are off on the holidays. Some people have family or friends to help out.

It's really hard to work and be a mom, isn't it? I'm glad you won't have to work so hard soon.

When my children were small, I sent them to summer college where they would study the Irish language. That was for four weeks, and for the other four weeks, I took them to the beach or the park and then on family vacation for two weeks.

My kids attend a vacation care program for the entire holiday season.
They go on different excursions, such as to the movies, or to the local park for cricket and stuff like that.
It costs me a bit, but I could not have them at work with me, and there is no family who could look after them, so there is no choice in the matter.

This is the first year I haven’t booked my child into at least 2 days of holiday care a week. My work shift now allows me to not send her to care. I have an early shift & my husband works the afternoon shift. Tag team parenting. Most days I’m am home just after lunch time, some days we have been able to go out as a family before hubbie has to start work, and other wise we try to do things together after he leaves.

my son is not in school yet, but next year he will start kindergarten and i will try to take time off to spend with him, but at my job it is not always possible so i may have my 11 year old neice come to home to watch him because i work from home but still need someone to contend with him while i am working.
