Thanks for explaining. That does sound inconvenient. In Ontario, the schools don't get any holidays between January and March. They all get the third week of March off, as "winter break" or "March Break". That's all the schools in both public systems everywhere in the province that I know about, so there are lots of daycamp type programs that week. Many families go to Florida or somewhere else warm. But it's the only holiday our kids have while university classes are in session, so we can't travel. When our two were younger, we used to brainstorm ahead of time about how to fill their week and not make P stir-crazy. (The climbing gym's kid program was a big hit one year. R's birthday is often during March break, so the kids used to spend a whole day decorating the house and a cake and making cards. And we used to take them to a movie, back when that was a big treat.) I think it was during March Break one year that we came up with the custom of designating a Parent On Duty and teaching the kids that they couldn't always go to P first just because she was in the house.
Nowadays their March break plans are usually things like going out of town on the train to visit universities with friends, visit Grandma for a few days, or hang out with Internet friends for a few days, and the usual sleep in and rent movies kind of recharging. None of which requires much input from us
