[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Here is where I get frustrated, at the end of the day [b]when DH talks about being tired and everyone being so busy,[/b] I tell him we need to cut back and it's too f-ing much and he get mad and says having a conversation like this when he's tired and in the middle of the summer isn't helpful. I am so tired of not being heard, but he's just so fast and zooms around and I can't catch up.[/quote]

At a time when he's not in the middle of complaining, I'd bring this up. How would he ideally like the summers to be? Sure, camp during the day but can evenings be more relaxed? Also in this moment it seems like he just wants to vent, doesn't want you to try to fix the problem (usually in this situation, the genders are reversed) so your role is to listen, tell him how much you appreciate him doing this for the kids.

At minimum, do a post-mortem at the end of the summer, what worked and what didn't. Write it down to discuss when you all start planning next summer. As the camp/activity planner in the family, I used to do that with my kids because some January they wouldn't necessarily remember what they liked or disliked about various things they did. [/quote]
