I reduce my hours to 3 mornings a week through the hols but even then they are getting snippy about having to do planned stuff with our childminder instead of me. Then I find myself overcompensating to spend time with them and then losing it because I've had no time for just a cup of tea!

You spent a week with us so know the truth.<br /><br />If anything I am organised to the point of ridiculousness.

One thing we are doing is berry picking - there are lots of pick-your-own farms near us, but we are foraging! tons of bramble/blackberries around in the local woods, along the path next to the train, and even creeping into the garden.
