Less than 200 quid - I'll convert you yet!

Thanks, yeah day trips might be a good idea. I really just wanted to take DS to the beach for a couple of days because he keeps going on about the sea and sand.

When he's older I intend taking him around the world, just not yet. Like I said, Malta last year was hell! Up at 7am each day, couldnt have a drink, back in the room by 10pm, unable to sunbathe cos DS is running round the edge of the pool, can't eat in peace cos DS doesnt like the food/wants to go up to the buffet himself and choose/is too hot to sit still.....And then the plane OMG is was a nightmare, "I need a wee, I want a drink...." every 2 minutes.

Never again! I'll make up for it when he's older!

Thanks, I've searched some camp sites on the South Coast and a pitch is as little as £10 a night!! Even if it costs me £100 for a tent I'm still only spending under £150 for a few days.

Thanks everyone!! x

OMG!:eek: what if you blackout .....your son could get out of the tent so easily and you would not know! This is the reason I do not go camping.

And there was you saying that cruises need not cost an arm and a leg and especially good for 2/3 year olds :rolleyes:

I know that is why the au pais has to come along too, if you'd bother to read original thread.

Edinburgh lass, yes they are reasonable you can get one for £399 per person, Ive seen some for Thomson Cruises, however £800+ is more than I want to spend, although for many families this would be a reasonable budget

I do, when he's quiet and well behaved, its not my fault I dont like kids under 4. Unfortunately they dont pop out aged 4 and above!! I'm okay for a bit but by this time on a Sunday I'm certainly ready for getting back to the office for intelligent adult conversation. It's just the way I am it isn't a choice, my AUnty was the same, she has 2 lads (now grown up) but as they were growing up she worked 40 hours a week in a high flying role and her husband did the womans role.

Thousands of men work 60 hours a week and barely see their kids, I dont doubt because it drives them insane, so why is it so bad for me because I'm a woman??

If you can get hold of a tent, camping is great fun! We've stayed in Devon at a place called Cofton Country Holidays a couple of times. Link below. It's one of the best places we've been camping, sooooo clean - which is my biggest worry when camping! IMO, camping can be as cheap or as expensive as you make it. No nannies or childminders on site I'm afraid!

Oh & I'm with you on looking forward to getting back to work - well I need a break sometime, it's easier than being at home! lol ! Love DS to pieces, but know what you mean, hard work! People look at me as if I'm a mass murderer when I say I don't want any more children, & that one is enough for me, but the way I see it, why have more children just to please everyone elses idea of 'normal'. No thanks!

http://www.coftonholidays.co.uk/ have a look, great place.

Welcome to the real world :rolleyes: What makes you think he will be any different when he is 4? Maybe you should of just paid the Au pair to have him 24/7 until he leaves school and then he will be far less bother He isn`t a nice little laptop that you can switch off when peace and quiet is required, I am amazed that you can even make comments such as the ones above. What did you think you were going to give birth to a blueberry phone?

Its not "so bad" because you are a woman at all

hmmm do the dads not work to bring home the bacon.....
My hubby works long hours,he has a well paid job but need to put the hours too

he certainly doesnt work because the children "drive him insane" :rolleyes:

You talk out of your backside half the time and certainly dont appear to live in the real world ! :rolleyes:

all the comments you make regarding your son ,I am quite frankly appalled :rolleyes:

but i think you do it to get everyones backs up on here ...........

What makes you think @ age 4 he will suddenly turn into this angelic quiet child?! :rolleyes:

If anything it will go the other way ! they get "attitude" when they start fulltime education and each age group brings with it a whole new set of troubles

Good luck
