Summer break is almost here. For some, it means sleeping in, no alarm clocks and a flexible schedule. Yet for some of us parents, it means a lack of routine and structure, which often can result in unmanageable chaos.
If you are like me, I tend to have great intentions during summer break: we will do crafts, go out more and limit screen time. But a few days in and kids get “bored.” Also, why is it that kids only sleep in when they have to get up early, and they get up at the wee hours of the morning when they should be sleeping in?
In honor of all parents getting ready to tackle this summer break, these memes are for you:
