DOES anyone else think the school holidays are just a bit too long?
It is OK for teachers and stay-at-home mums but for the rest of us it is a logistical nightmare trying to juggle work and childcare.
I do not have family close by helping out either — I know a lot of grandparents are put upon at this time of the year.
You see them looking exhausted in the park and the shops, with the grandchildren in tow.
I am not suggesting the holidays are cut by much but I think a month would suffice.
It would certainly take some of the pressure off.
