I don't have kids but if I did I'd like to think that I'd value the time with them during holidays rather than resent them for preventing me getting laid |

The way it was said sounds like she has lots of free time when kids are at school but when they are off,it restricts her meets. |

I'm sure all parents enjoy free time from their kids. And in 6 weeks time I could possibly sympathise with the OP a little more, but complaining before the summer holidays have even began - seriously? 
The use of 'lol' doesn't make a comment instantly acceptable |

presumptions,, maybe she works and is planning ahead? who knows.. but id not hang the OP for just expressing what most parents feel like at some stage |

If she worked during the day then the holidays wouldn't effect her meets. |

The difference is that I would never complain that my kids are messing up my meets! |

"School holidays messing up my meets lol .... Anyone know a good babysitter lol  "
Why jumping down the OPs throat and accusing her of putting meets before her children?? I think this was meant to be a light hearted post that instantly gets jumped on. Jeez - no wonder only 1% of users only post in the forums. The rest are shit scared of saying the wrong thing! Nobody knows the OPs circumstances. She may work full time and rely on child care during term time, making it difficult for her to get childcare during the holidays. Personally I'm always glad when the 6 week break is over with. Doesn't make me a bad parent. Just one that knows going into work is a doddle compared with entertaining kids 24/7. |

Oh please. Nobody jumped down her throat if it was meant as a joke I've heard funnier. There are other things to joke about that would be funny. .... and for the record I work with kids and so working and being with kids 24/7 is my life. I see the effects of kids whose parents can't be arsed. ... so I don't apologise for not finding it funny. |

If what you say is true how would the kids being off school effect her meets?Being a parent and only having myself to worry about I don't understand. |

ok say the OP didnt work,, she would have meets during the daytime where the children are at school. With them being at home for the holidays this means she has a responsibility to look after them |

Surely a few weeks would be bearable if that was the case. |

Dearie me, why does everyone assume that "kids" mean cute seven year olds who love to spend time with their mum and are great company. Some school kids are fifteen, spotty, stinky, belligerent, pain in the arse, vipers to the breast ingrates. Yep I hate school holidays, I leave for work in the mornings , the house is clean and fragrant, I get home and the place is stinky, full of crisp packets, yoghurt pots, the PC hasn't been off all day and every bloody light in the house is on despite it being mid summer. I'd love some quality time, if only ....... |

they're not always cute at 7 either
Parents are allowed a break,it doesn't make you a shit parent if you crave quality time,in fact it helps make you a parent more able to deal with the stresses of parenthood
It doesn't matter if that quality time is sex with a stranger,a night at the opera or an afternoon sat in the library either,if you go back to your children refreshed,relaxed and happy then its all good as far as I can see
OP don't let anyone make you feel bad for posting what you did |

And yes I work with vulnerable children so I see the effects and devastation ineffective parenting can cause. I also live in the real world and see the OP as it was intended (and confirmed by the OP) as light hearted. I won't be making that call to Childrens Social Care . I'm sure if you have genuine safeguarding concerns you will have already reported her.
OP - enjoy the summer break and make up for it in September |

All normality goes out of the window during the summer holidays, which are 2 weeks too long in my opinion ~ I have a spreadsheet just to keep track of where my daughter is...club / childminder / friends!

I'm not arguing this anymore as the op has declared it all to be meant in jest.....no one is rose tinting. I meet very rarely because of work or family but I wouldn't start a thread complaining they were getting in the way.
