I finally experienced for myself the "trouble" that school holidays bring for working mothers. In the past, I encountered many colleagues who take leave during school holidays. I never fully understand why they must do that.
For the first time in 6.5 yrs of being a mother, I felt sad and guilty for being a working mum. In the past, Lynn went to full day childcare, which operates full year round. I had always liked the programme at her childcare, and felt that she was well taken care of, and she enjoyed a fulfilling time there. Now in P1, the moment June holidays approached, I finally understand why mummies cracked their brains to find activities to fill the childrens' time.
I am really glad that WK brought Lynn to Bali when I went Scotland in the 2nd week of June, else I will feel even more guilty. Other than that, Lynn also had some fun with Juin, prawning and going to the movies. For the rest of the time, Lynn read story books, did assessment books, and handicraft.
If I were a full time mum, I will bring Lynn outdoors a lot. But, I'm not. Well, time passes by, bringing with it both fulfilled and unfulfilled dreams.. Some pics for memory
