Dealing With Kids During Holidays!

The Schools will close for the Summer Holidays on Friday and even though I am excited that the kids can rest and spend time doing their own thing,the thought of having them around all day gives me headache already!


Who has kids and knows what I am talking about?
They stress double,eat double and do everything double..My kids are adventurous so i am the class of those who must seek them out always to know what they are up to if they are not anywhere near me.

 Who is looking forward to their kids stay at home Holiday?

      The thought of it gives me headache,having them around for the 2 days Muslim holidays is already killing,my kids can scatter house for africa,they go from one room to another until they have successfully turn the whole house upside down. Getting them to eat is another war,i ll find a way to deal with though,after all they re blessings

    None!.,.
    I don't think there are mothers that enjoy their kids being at home...
    In Nigeria,most people send their children to holidays lesson or vacation somewhere else!...

    The only joy of it is that you won't be waking up early to prepare them for school...

      Even with help, that moment the child decides to call mummy 100 times in a minutes is what I'm not looking forward too.. And to think he is calling not because when needs anything, just to disturb you...

      Summer lesson is the best thing that happened to parents after school.. Then play dates on. Weekend during vacation will happen. I can't be stressed.

    I am not looking forward to them staying at home biko. I have already laid down plans. I will waybill them to my parents first, then later on to my inlaws. Even their staying at home this sallah break is bringing me headaches. Been talking since yesterday. They don't nap, and even if they do, you will be hearing them screaming and fighting each other in their dreams. This one will shout; Valerie stop touching my teddy. And another will scream leave me aloooone! Lol.

    It's just day 2 of the public holidays in Naija and I'm already sick and tired of being sick and tired of yelling and spanking and I've just not had any rest so far. Only God knows what this long holiday will be like. Was hoping we could travel but Buhari & dollar no gree person. If we try it, we will be sitting ducks when we get back. Will surely be enrolling them for summer school sha. I hope I get other creatives ideas from this post on how to engage them further. Pheeew😓😢😥

    I think the best bet is to keep them busy doing fun activities.

    These days we have more holiday camps,cookery courses for teens, etc. Let them learn a skill they've also wanted. If you have the money you can also pay for a friend or 2 of theirs, so it'll be more fun.

    The important thing is to let them rest and have fun while at it while giving you a couple of stress free hours while at it.

    I would look forward to being with them though, these days kids grow so fast, before you blink they're out of the house holding their first job.

    Enjoy them while they're here!

      You are very correct, very very correct.
      I'm enjoying mine too, even when my home is 'turned up side down', I find solace in the fact that soon, very soon they will all be grown and responsible. So I don't wanna 'cage' them. I play, get dirty with them. Lots of cartoons to watch during the day, paintings and artwork, I also read out to them. Once they are up to 5-6years I will enrol them to French Centre. So far, I'm taking it one day @ a time.

    I'm dreading it but also looking forward to it in some way. Dreading it cos my son will be calling me hundred times at work to ask when I'll get home and that he is bored of being with just my mom all day. And looking forward to it cos I'll get to sleep a bit longer in the mornings without rushing to wake up to prepare him for school before going off to work

      Oga if you have a park close to you, take them for a few hours a day so they run around and tired themselves out. Whilst they are playing, they will hardly disturb you which leaves you with plenty of time for your phone. Don't forget to pack some snacks and plenty of water for them o. Good luck.

    Stella, don't you have a village or mother in-law?
    There is also summer-camp, i expect you to have some in Germany. Send them to summer-camping, if there is no village or maybe your mother in-law is too busy.
    It can really be stressful having your kids at home throughout the summer holidays, my lady friend has already sent her two boys to her mother in-law in the village immediately they returned from one week summer camp. They live by the sea, so, they go for swimming everyday.

    I've already planned the summer schools for the different ages. I have 2 helps and y other sisters help will come with them too

    I love having them around like them during summer even though I know my house keeping money will be like triple the sum at the end of the holidays but I love my kids getting to know heir cousins...

    I have perfected the act of locking my room door when I'm back from work or at home for any reason. 😀😀😀😀😀
