As we approach June, the school year is finally drawing to a close—but not quite yet! The final weeks can feel like a marathon of madness. We’re just trying to get the kids out the door, often with mismatched socks and backpacks that are barely holding together.
How many more days until summer? Surely, they don’t need new shoes or fresh supplies at this point. And honestly, a couple of apples in the backpack should suffice for lunch, right?
The Miller family recently shared a humorous video that perfectly captures this phase of parenting. If your household is hanging by a thread as the year wraps up, take comfort in knowing you’re not alone! Their video is captioned, “In our home, there’s a huge difference between September Parenting and May Parenting. What about you? #whoneedsaheadband #youneedluncheveryday #justmakeitstop.”
September Parenting:
Look at these shiny new shoes! They’ll keep you safe and stylish all year!
May Parenting:
“Mom, these shoes have seen better days.”
“True, but you’ll be in flip-flops in no time, so let’s just tape them up and nobody will notice!”
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the current state of your household, remember that everyone tends to shine a little brighter in the fall. For more relatable parenting insights, check out this other blog post on home insemination, which covers various topics including pregnancy and family planning.
