“I’m Dreading School Being Out” & 17 Other Summer Mom Confessions
It’s officially summertime, and there are a lot of mixed feelings.
It’s hard to believe summer is here. May felt like it would never end — just one awards ceremony, sports event, and school party after another. But now it’s officially summertime (or at least, close enough for those of you still waiting on the last day of school), and we’re all feeling very different things. Maybe the overwhelm is gone a bit, but it’s been replaced with a whole summer to fill with memories. Maybe you’re excited about the season and can’t wait for long, lazy days with your kids. Maybe you’re already stressed about the very idea of summer and have no idea how to still hold down a job and make memories with your kids. Maybe you’re somewhere in between?
No matter what, you’re not alone. These confessions are all summer-themed, and the moms are feeling a wide range of emotions. From kids back home from college and disrupting the flow of things to moms who just need some time to themselves, we’re all feeling the summertime blues — and highs.
