I respect our differences, OP. I feel about summer, the way some people feel about winter. For me the end of summer can't come soon enough.

I love the 5:00pm sunsets, crisp mornings, cooking, being outdoors without feeling sticky, and warm, comforting things.

I don't enjoy the heat, but enjoy the time with my kids. Not looking forward to school starting again, and all the attending stress.

Our school went through June 22 (or so, forget the exact date) and doesn't start til September 5. My my count were pretty much exactly halfway through summer, not almost done with it.

I'm dreading when the kids return to school. Our lives become so much more hectic.

No sports or activities or homework during summer...just camp, the pool, and lots of trips to the beach.

Racing home to get the kids to practice, then frantically finishing homework super sucks. Our Saturdays are filled with games in far flung towns. Sundays are the only day off, and I typically spend the day cleaning.

Ugh.

And we all know summer heat continues into September - and sometimes October. It ain't over until the first snow hits!


That's true but the pool is closed in September and October

It's so much easier to manage my children at the pool in summer than during winter months.

During past summers, camp drop off and pick up has been easier because the traffic is less busy. However, this summer, the traffic has been just as bad on the beltway so unfortunately, logistically it's been as challenging as during the school year.

New poster here. I like the crisp, cool weather in the fall. But I always miss the long days of summer when the kids can play outside for hours after school. The days are already getting shorter......

I just addressed our Christmas cards so will not have that hanging over me in early December.

We have another month of summer left! And that's just school starting; the weather will stay hot for another 6-8 weeks. Let's not put this one away before it is done.

Where I came from, school started in mid-august, so school would be starting soon. Here, school doesn't start until after Labor Day. There's still a good month of summer left.

It's almost August already and summer is my favorite season.

I love summer night, long days, and being outside. And the more relaxed summer vibe. Fall starts the "crazy busy" season of homework, team sports, and the holidays. I love the slower pace of summer.

I don't enjoy the super hot days we had in July but I like average summer temps around 78-85. That is perfect summer weather.
