FA1 seems to be commenting on a thread they can’t relate to. It’s healthy to bond and vent in these ways and it doesn’t have to be positioned like it’s complaining. Summers are SO HARD for the default parent!!! So much food, monitoring, activity. I LOVE summer, but i wake up earlier, i am moving around more to juggle all the things, and evenings are busy too because everyone is out and about. I have help, but i sometimes miss the routine that school brings. And the quiet!

Just because we are using a forum to vent does not mean we are not keen to making improvements. Quite opposite actually. Please seek some therapy FA1. We parents are not your problem and you are trolling the wrong thread.

Hahahah yeah! I've got two sons too, and their appetite is sometimes appalling :D

I love the looser schedule and having the kids around- but work gives me intense FOMO, I would love a work schedule that follows a school schedule

Doesn’t add up.
Older generations have put us in a mess.

Here is someone who is clearly apart of a younger generation, like your kids, and I don’t appreciate your social skills. Seems like you’re too thick headed to listen to younger people’s generation. Another mess we will have to clean up.

Keep your legs shut 🤷🏽‍♂️

Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
