A Mumsnetter with 5 children has shared her entire summer holiday schedule, and opinions on this are divided.
Her logic: "My kids thrive when they have a routine." So every day gets a theme, plus a daily rhythm of wake-ups, chores and a bit of school work to dodge the summer slide.
Verdict so far: 58% say it's unreasonable to set a summer schedule and, 42% say it's not unreasonable.
We've turned it into a template you can steal.
Are you team schedule or team "let the summer unfold"?
