Welcome back mothers of the internet. Summer break used to be connotated with fun in the sun, ice cream cones, family vacations, trips to the lake for jet skiing, and cookouts with the neighbors. As a kid, it's a world of wondrous enjoyment, being taken to anywhere and everywhere exciting, never having to worry about school or responsibilities. But as an adult?

As a parent, summer doesn't have the same cheerful tone it does to your kid. While for your child it means no school and endless downtime, for you as a parent it means you have to up your parenting to astronomical levels. You don't get to drop them off at school for 8 hours a day, now you have to be with them 24/7, caring for them, feeding them, and dealing with them. Summer isn't what it used to be, and that's why you deserve a chill summer staycation. Why pack your bags when your comfortable bed is right here? All you need is a wine night to yourself, without your kids this time.
