[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes to everything that’s been said here. I’d also add that [b]it’s really hard because you’re taking time off work and it doesn’t remotely resemble an actual brea[/b]k. That is one of my struggles with being a working mom in the summer - every minute I’m not working is generally spent on childcare between vacations like this and the fact that camps just don’t cover that much time, and it’s pretty exhausting to never get real downtime. My job is stressful and parenting in a different location with kids who are out of their element is stressful in a different way so I’m just fried from all ends. [/quote] Exactly this! I love the time with my kids but there are days it feels like "this is my vacation??" You're hardly coming back refreshed - more like more tired than before and behind on a bunch of errands/laundry.[/quote]
