As the school year draws to a close, some parents are celebrating while others are bracing for the chaos of summer. While we love our kids, the relief of ditching homework, schedules, and lunch-packing can be overshadowed by the reality of summer’s own challenges. Spoiler alert: it won’t be a walk in the park. The bottom line? Parenting is tough, and the comical parents of Twitter are here to share the struggle.
- Oops, no plans. Summer vacation is approaching, but in all the end-of-year hustle, you forgot to sign the kids up for any camps. Say goodbye to rational thoughts.
- Mixed emotions. School’s out! Finally, a chance to enjoy your kids instead of battling through nightly homework. Wait, summer has its own set of annoyances too. Forget that.
- Over it. Honestly, we were done about three months ago, but here we are.
- Brace yourselves. It’s a whirlwind of emotions as we say goodbye to the school year and get ready for summer. Our hair might just turn white in the process.
- Magical days. Those last few days, when teachers stop assigning homework, feel like a dream, but there are still 23 end-of-year events to get through.
- Looking ahead. The last day of school brings freedom from homework but welcomes a host of new challenges.
- Grief process. Allow yourself to feel all the stages of grief. We’ll have chardonnay ready when you’re done!
- What’s for lunch? gritting teeth “Ham or turkey? Oh, you don’t like either? How about dry Cheerios or cafeteria pizza?!”
- Keep going. Just. Keep. Pushing.
- Phoning it in. Sorry kids, we’re coasting until your summer diet of hot dogs and popsicles kicks in.
- They’ll survive. We can’t take it anymore.
- Who needs structure? Oh, you can’t take leave to attend every end-of-year event? No worries, you have the entire summer to make it up to them. The whole. Damn. Summer.
