Right, if you're taking your young family on a holiday why in the name of all that's supposedly normal do you put them in a "play club" all day and every day?  I know I am probably of a different generation, but only just, our family holidays were just that, included THE FAMILY.  We didn't go abroad in those days, money for one thing, although our choice of English Country Cottages was probably more expensive in hindsight that a "eurocamp" for example, but there we are.  The hols themselves, weather permitting naturally, were for the most part beach, a real train journey, the zoo or similar and on the rainy days, and believe me there were many, we would seek out "entertainment" probably at huge expense to keep our trio happy and amused - BUT WE WERE THERE TOO.  One of my reasons for not even wanting a cross channel ferry hol was that I was totally paranoid that my youngest, fearless live-wire of a boy, would doubtless be lost overboard before we even reached our destination!  My other fear was that the entire ferry would go down and as the strong swimmer how could I possibly save EVERYONE.  No, I don't believe I was mad, well maybe a little, but simply a caring mother completely in love with her children.  I would not, and neither would my husband, have left them when they slept while we partied with friends.  When we ate, we ate together at a time suitable for them, when they slept, it was as though we were at home, we stayed in our holiday accommodation and watched tv if there was one, read or more than likely turned in ourselves being totally knackered after a day of activities with 3 young children!  If you want a "singles" holiday for goodness sake leave the children with grandparents or similar at home.  I fail to see why anyone would NEED three tennis lessons in one day, this has shown Mr McCann up as a pretty selfish husband and father, and six in the evening, good choice Gerry, the very time when small kiddies are at their worst, tired after a day at "holiday club" and all needing to be prepared for bed..................that's right you leave that ALL to mum and slope off for yet another tennis lesson!!!  Just makes me want to slap that sour, hard, emotionless face all the more.
