School Holidays – Quality Time For the Whole Family
With our lifestyles being as frenetic and busy as they are these days, many parents often struggle to find the time to just sit down and spend some quality time with their children. We live a constant juggling act between school and work, soccer practice and ballet recitals, homework, building that hat for the Easter parade, going to the dentist, paying those bills, doing the groceries, cleaning the house, catching up on the ever growing pile of washing in the laundry, trying to find time to keep our marriages in tact and the list goes on. Spending some time with the kids, unfortunately for most of us, often gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

For a single parent family this extra stress can increase the pressure twofold. With only one person to carry the extra load that is normally taken up with the child being at school the holidays can become a very tiresome time for the single parent. |
