I find summer to be stressful as a parent let alone a provider. I don't work as much right now so at least I get a break from technical "work" but it is constant go go go!! As a parent to small kids I don't ever really get a break
I try really hard to keep my kids on a healthy strict diet and good bed time routines to manage their moods and it is sooooo hard when we go camping or get invited out every weekend. Just this week we went to my neighbours for an evening of hot dogs, freezies, marshmallows and swimming. Didn't get home until 9pm
I paid for it the next day let me tell you. Then we go camping and who wants to eat salad?? Ugh.
