    Because that was the thing that stood out as the mother's involvement and play is normal. Hopefully teachers will work that one out.

    What is this hotel thing? We just celebrated dad being "too ill" to do anything off the campsite, so mum took us, a picnic, toys and a book to the beach (yes, she got to read, "If you bother me and it's not an emergency...no ice cream") We had to say when we were going/back from swimming and stay near the lifeguard. Dad stayed in the tent/caravan and read with a flask of tea and his own picnic. We didn't have to go to museums and answer his questions about what we had learned on "dad's ill" days

    Oh, just check the back of my closet, there's a stack in there because I collect them for emergencies like this - I mean, I collect them because my kids ask for them and then leave them around the house. So I hide them because it makes me feel better. lol

    That was always me. I didn't need as much sleep as my mother thought I did, or desperately wanted me to have so that she had a longer child-free evening.

    I missed when we were told that we're supposed to feel refreshed and full of energy on New Year's Day!

    BAD move: "eating refined carbohydrates like pasta can cause a rise in blood sugar, followed by a plunge in insulin levels, which cause fatigue and weakness". Also: "carbs may boost tryptophan and serotonin, two brain chemicals involved in sleep". If you want energy eat protein.
