[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems to be a trend I’m seeing on social media this year. After putting the kids on the bus for the first day of school, moms gather in someone’s house or on a driveway and drink mimosas to celebrate sending their kids back to school. There are hashtags like #tagyoureitteachers and #momsfinallyfree and #momsfirstdayofschool. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Some of them are SAH, but others have flexible schedules and can drink mimosas on a Monday to celebrate not having to be with their kids.

I get it when teachers get to the end of the year and are done with the twenty something kids they’ve been in charge of all year. They deserve a break and need to recharge. The kids don’t belong to the teachers and schools, they belong to the parents. But parents who chose to have these children celebrating not being to handle spending a little extra time with their own kids for around 10 weeks is a different story. Most of these parents sent their kids to camp for a lot of the summer, so it’s not even like they had them at home all day but even if they did it’s just distasteful in my opinion. These are the same moms who bemoan how they’re just so busy and don’t get to have any quality family time due to school, homework and activities.  Own your choices.  And don’t treat schools and teachers like they’re your babysitters so you can “mom life” it up on social media.

Have you seen this as well, or is it just my social media circle?

Oh please.  Just a bunch of Moms getting together after an exhausting summer. Your judgment is what's wrong. Are you annoyed you weren't invited? Oh and these Moms are just taking a couple hours break before the homework, school activities, and different schedules for each kid kicks in. They deserve it.[/quote]
