<p>Agreed - winter break is too long! I count 7 - 8 weeks, not 10. Even though I’m sure D’s two week holiday break will seem very short before she goes back to RA duties, I am glad she is not going to be home so long this time around. It my experience, it was not an easy adjustment for any of us, and it is difficult for me not to “mommy” her too much (driving us both crazy). I would prefer a standard calendar.</p>
