Is it just me?

Is anyone else experiencing frustration with their children's behavior during the summer and looking forward to them going back to school? I feel like a terrible mom for even feeling that way. Maybe it's because this year I have the ability to work from home, and just happen to be around more, but I truly look forward to the 28th!

I think when parents have their kids at home for the summer it is only normal to reach a point that they want them to return to school. Kids need structured time. The first month of summer is great. Everyone is happy. Then it gets harder. By the end of summer, the kids need a routine. And the parents are ready for back to normal schedules. Do not feel badly nor guilty. Just enjoy the summer. Kids grow so fast. In time their being home in the summer will just be a distant memory. Trust me on that.
