It's Half Term And Parents Aren't Overjoyed About It: 'Why Are They So Hyper?'

LOADINGERROR LOADING

It’s half term and the kids have a whole week off school. A week of fun, right? Wrong. It’s day one and parents are already eye-rolling at the prospect of it.

Some have been up since the crack of dawn, others are complaining about their kids barking (yep, really), and then there are those who just don’t think they’re going to survive it.

You’re in this together – you’ve got this, guys.

Based on my child's recent behaviour, I am 100% certain that I'm not going to survive half-term.. 😫

My kids missed the memo that it's both the weekend and halfterm, the fart nuggets were both up at 6am!

First day of half-term for us, and my son threw up 5 times during the night. At least I'm not working... pic.twitter.com/QY5qR1Q4MB

It's the first day of half term so of course my children are tag teaming vomiting. Why not?

Drinking coffee in bed (hello half term 😍) and I can hear my son barking downstairs. No, I’m not one of those people who refer to their pets as their children. My actual child is barking. 🤷🏻♀️

Optimistically turning off my alarm for half term. Though there's no chance of my children sleeping in.

Half term, day 3.
"Can you help me?"
"Yes, love. See, you do this to make that bit... HEY! IT'S NOT MY HOMEWORK! There's the brush, there's the stuff, get on with it!"
I try not to twitch when he doesn't do it right, remind myself that A's only 8!.
It's hard but I'm managing

|| Half term for my daughter's nursery which means a break for them but not for me, she's extremely hyper.
