Dear Children
I love you both more than anything but following our rather stressful day yesterday, I think it would be a good idea to lay down some school holiday ground rules:
* Just because it’s the school holidays, you do not need to be doing something every minute of the day! I do not have the time, money or patience to constantly entertain you every minute of every day….
* When I go to the trouble of setting up the paints or the playdough then I expect it to take slightly more than 5 minutes before you declare that you are bored….
* If I tell you that we can’t do something because (a) it’s raining, (b) I am skint until payday or (c) I just don’t want to, you really should know that I will get angry if you tell me that it’s not fair because I never let you do anything!
* It would be beneficial to all concerned if everyone stayed in bed until at least eight o clock, it would help my mood considerably if I was not woken up before seven o clock with screams of victory because one of you managed to knock the other of the track at Mario Kart on the Wii.
* It does not count as tidying your bedroom up if you just hide everything under your bed – Remember, just because Daddy does something, doesn’t mean it’s right!
If we follow these simple rules, we may just make it to next Monday morning in one peace!
All my love,
Mammy
Dear Husband
I fully appreciate that you worked nights last night but when you wake up, I wxpect you to come dowstairs and spend time with your beatiful children rather than hide upstairs and play on your new I-Phone.
I’m not deaf you know, I can hear you 
Yours forever

Dear Television
Please be aware that I expect you to do your fair share of babysitting our little bundles of joy this week while they are off school.
I would be very grateful if you could pass this message on to your good friends the Wii and the DVD player.
Kind Regards

Dear Wacky Warehouse
I thought it best to notify you that I will be visiting your establishment this afternoon with my two children. As you are aware, there was a small incident last time we came when my darling daughter arranged a boys against girl battle in the ball pool.
In her defence I don’t think she expected every child in the ball pool to join in and she has promised me that there will not be a repeat performance this afternoon.
Kind Regards
Magic Mummy
Dear Glass of Wine

LOL! Your post is very funny! I think my wife is going to love this because she has been telling me the same thing everyday lol!
Thank you, thank you for making me laugh on a day when I needed it. It was appropriate that I was stressed out with the kids "We're bored". I love this 2If we follow these simple rules, we may just make it to next Monday morning in one peace!"
Also I will email my hubby with the same comments.
Your blog is just great.

I also love writing letters. As a matter of fact, I made my WordPress account as a site of my letters dedicated to someone. Those are my secret letters for the guy I am liking now.
hehe! the plight of all 'holiday parents' all over the country…! We're more Cheeky Monkeys than Wacky Warehouse though.
lol, the holidays are great, really they are, but they just go on too long! Jen (Blog Gems)

I am SO done with Half Term Break. So. Done. Can not wait until school resumes on Monday.
I actually did laugh out loud at the letter to the television. Nice!
Brilliant!
That made me laugh! Thanks for that!!
Oh we so nearly went to the wacky this afternoon, but I can not abide the place, we went to Noah Ark at Thornaby instead, less expensive, clean and fun too.
It's good for kids to be bored and manage their boredom! helps them cope with work/life/marriage etc when they are older and know that life isn't fun all the time xxx loving the blog xx
Dear MM, I am so pleased it was not just me having a s**t day yesterday. I feel so much better now. Sue x x
