what have I done?
 
Last year I let the girls come home for lunch in May - they get a 2.5 hour lunch break, and because it's so hot I let them come home for lunch and a swim.

They have been bugging me for weeks to let them come home again this year, and I've finally caved in. It's only 3 more weeks of full time school, and with temps of over 30 in the shade the last few days, (and it will get much hotter) it seems mean to say no.

they'd better be grateful......and behave

OMG what have I done!!??:blink: :ohmy:

I know, and what's more we take in Spanish kids in the summer who come here to learn english - so I end up with a total of 6 kids in the house for 8 weeks


funnily enough the arguments pretty much stop when there are more of them



btw......they are in their rooms for arguing again!:ohmy:

Peace and quiet didn't even last one day. My youngest still to this day (27 now) says she should have been an only child, eldest sisters agrees with her as then she would not have been her sister:eek: Don't you just love them.

Funny thing is, we have often said (privately) that if she had been first she would have been an only, since she is so much harder to handle than her big sister!

We think it's because her best friend is an only child, and the whole family revolves around her. Of course it's sooo different when there are two
