'Get back to school!': Laugh away the fatigue of a never-ending summer with 22 memes for parents

Listen up, parents, you've made it this far, but we can all agree that school needs to be back in session ASAP. Summer break is a time of infinite freedom and wonderful memories… When you're a child. But when you're a parent trying to juggle a full-time job, playdates, driving teens, and appropriate feeding times for your family of 4+, summer break feels more like a gulag than a happy, fun time. Even on vacation, parents are fighting to get some relaxation. Driving 8 hours to their next destination, the kids fight in the back seat, not realizing that we sacrificed 3 PTO days to sit here and squabble in traffic. 

Alas, despite the sweaty, hot afternoons and the mixed-up soccer practice pickup schedule, summer still had its great moments. The pool, the beach, and the water parks will all be waiting for us next year, but for now, parents are just happy it's coming to a close—and there's no shame in being stoked for that upcoming school bell.
