i just don't get this...
...quite a few children from my kids' school have already left, some over a week ago, even though it doesn't finish until next tuesday...why do people feel the need to leave on holiday before the end of term (i'm not talking about people skipping the country, it's people i know who are coming back)...the school holidays are waaaay too long already this summer, until 13 september, so why the hell do you need a week or two extra...?
mind you, i never understand the idea of "little wifey and kids" buggering off for the whole of the summer anyway, so maybe it's just me... MM, xx |

I would love it if my husband and kids buggered off for 3 months...I'd even drop them at the airport.

Re: i just don't get this...
Mrs RK and Miss RK and going home for the summer for the first time this year. I'll go for July, come back then fly back for a week at Eid and bring them home with me. Won't cut school early as we don't agree with that, but with the new house, they will be kept very busy; gardening, cleaning windows, laying tarmac on the drive, cutting wood for winter...should be a great vacation for them. :huh:

Re: i just don't get this...
At least you are putting them to work RK. No slacking in your house!

It helps to remind the kids what country is their real "home". Also a good opportunity to get the grandparents/family some time with the kids. The summer away is a vital part of this and without it we wouldn't last.

. Now my parents get to spend a few months living with thier granddaughter and also it does my daughter the world of good to spend time with them and get some of the fresh scottish air in her lungs for a change. Plus i get 2 months to work, train, drink, sleep:D |
Re: i just don't get this...
If I had a family out here I would send the wife and kids home for the summer. Leave the night school lets out, return the day before.
There's nothing to do in Dubai during the summer months that doesn't cost a lot of money. It's too hot to spend prolonged periods outside so the beaches are out of the question. Same for weekend camping. Malls get boring after a while and you spend a fortune out of boredom. It's a great opportunity for people to reconnect to their families back home, rejoin whatever community you left and remind yourself that you are British/American/Whatever. Not to mention that it's goddamn hot. I was cranky enough today and I can't imagine having several little kids running around underfoot. July and August is even worse. |

Maybe airplane tickets are cheaper before the hols officially start? I don't know...
