In France, rather than
having a super long summer break, kids get nice long bits of vacation spread out
throughout the year. This in of itself is a great idea. It gets them back on their
feet every couple of months.
On the flipside, these breaks are tough on parents. So here are a couple of suggestions to get through this.
1. Live close by to your parents and or in-laws.
2. Take time off every time your children are on school break (I hope you have lots of vacation!)
3. Hire a super-nanny who's available and willing to work full-time over school breaks.
4. Put your child in camp (but you have to pick them up by 6PM at the latest).
5. Or - don't have children.. Booo.
6. Or - Get divorced. That will free you up for half of the time. Booo.
