My eldest daughter has been on her spring holidays for the last 2 weeks and I am busting for her to get back to school. I find it amazing how I am so used to that 6 hours of peace I get when she is at school. She is in year 2 and over the past 3-4 years I have gotten so much done in those hours that she is gone.
When I was young I always heard parents say things like "I love the time away from my child", "I don't want to look at you right now" and "I hope you have one just like you". I never wanted to say things like that to my children but I find myself saying them almost every day. I love my children and would die for them, but when you can sit down with a coffee and read a book without "MUUUUUMMMMMM", "I WANT", "I NEED", "SHE HIT ME", "SHE'S IN MY ROOM", "I HATE YOU", "I WANT WHAT SHE'S GOT", it is absolute Bliss. They know I love them because I tell them every day and show them all the time. So when I send them to bed an hour earlier than usual I don't feel to bad and one day they will understand why because "I hope they have one just like them".
