Last day of school for the two eldest

I am looking forward to having a break from the morning before school and having a bit more time with them. For us, Elementary is kindergarten to grade 6. Then high school from grades 7 to 11. Then Cegep and university for those who go.

@DaddyEvil Yeah that sounds pretty typical for teenagers. My two eldests are pretty good about getting themselves ready and off to school for the most part. Whether we're here or not.

@dodo19 The early mornings will go to them sleeping longer, at least that's what happened when Pretty was that age. She hated waking up for school and would skip if I wasn't there making sure she got on the bus. The only times she'd voluntarily wake up early was when I made plans for the lake or an amusement park... A couple of times she'd be growly in the mornings when I was trying to get us out the door... Then I stopped talking about going anywhere and just let her sleep until she asked why we didn't go anywhere anymore. I told her I was tired of being growled at and that ruined my day so there was no reason for me to want to take her anywhere. She started waking up, being pleasant to be around and asking if we could go to the lake for swims or to local amusement parks. When she woke me up to go somewhere, then I'd get up, shower and dress and we'd be out the door early enough to do things we both liked.

I bet they're excited. I am looking forward to having a break from lunches and waking kids and making sure they're ready and all that.

@LadyDuck I bet she is!

@dodo19 I bet my niece is also happy that it's spring break time, she has two young kids.

They'll probably see their friends, go to the pool, relax, watch tv, teenage stuff. They are definitely happy and looking forward to the summer break.

@dodo19 I bet they will do their fair share of sleeping in too!

@snowy22315 lol. Most likely.

Yeah I remember when they did and talking about. It goes by really fast. A bit too fast for me at times, but it is what it is. It's interesting that it's later for you. For us, it's elementary until grade 6 and then high school for grades 7 to 11. It's interesting to hear how it differs from place to place. I'm sure they'll have a great summer. And thanks!

@Juliaacv Yes they do. We also have Cegep here which other provinces don't have. It means we do a year less of high school and university. Cegep makes up for that. For the most part.

@dodo19 They finish school a grade before our students do.

It's the opposite from us. It's two weeks at Christmas and longer break during our summer (June, July, August).

It really does go by fast. A bit too fast at times, but it is what it is. And thanks!

@dodo19 u are welcome

I'm sure they'll enjoy their summer. It'll be nice to have a break. Kinda of interesting how things work. Hopefully the kids get out.
