[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a job. Then you will appreciate the slower pace of the summer (at least I do). Of course you then trade one set of stressors for another so pick your poison. [/quote]

Ugh summer is not "slower paced" for me as a working mom. At least during the school year, the schedule is predictable and childcare is pretty much arranged other than for certain holidays and random days off. But every summer is like reinventing the wheel. Kids grow out of certain camps, want to be in camps with certain friends, camp hours and locations vary, then there's summer travel, etc. It's exhausting. I love it when we hit mid-August, take the kids shopping for school supplies and uniforms, and then they go back to school. A relief every single year.[/quote]

Ok, but recognize that some of that is your own doing. I would never create a hectic schedule for myself because “kids want to be with friends at camp”. They go to camps that work for DH and my schedule. So yeah, for us the summer is definitely slower paced because there’s no afterschool activities, weekends taken up with sports, stress of homework etc. YMMV. [/quote]
