Half term. No two words change their meaning quite so much from the sheer joy they brought you when you were a kid to the utter exhaustion they indicate for any parent out there, especially everyone working from home right now.
Thanks goodness for Twitter then, where parents are venting their frustrations using hashtags like #halftermfun, #halftermhell and #imaparentgetmeoutofhere.
Because, yes, it helps to know you’re not the only one going through it.
The clocks going back is SO much fun
At least Halloween is keeping kids busy
Until it isn’t anymore...
A little screen time is totally justified
Just don’t leave your phone unattended
A special shout-out to anyone whose kids are self-isolating
And to anyone buried in DIY slime, we see you
You might think you want to escape right now
But don’t get misty eyed about road trips
Halloween is all the more relevant during your morning shower
And you realise how judgy kids can be
Know that everyone’s *pretty* tired this year
Plus, spare a thought for the teachers
And if all else fails, this dad makes a nice point.
