Anyone Dreading Summer?
I do not want to deal with ss13 day in and day out. I can take him in very small doses, but he gets so annoying anything after thirty minutes.
I'll probably lose my mind by the middle of June.

SD15 lives with us fulltime
SD15 lives with us fulltime and I am still dreading summer. I hate hate hate all 3 kids being home all summer. Its like a slow torture. I can't even go to Starbucks in the morning without everyone wanting to come, then everyone wants something. This year they are all staying home!!
Everyday they stand in front of me complaining they are hot, hungry, bored....I want to cry just thinking about it!!
My only peace is when I pack them up and go to the beach for the day. Eventually they complain they are hot, hungry and bored but its not as annoying when we are there.
It sucks as right now we are
It sucks as right now we are only a car family, so I don't have the option of taking them anywhere.
It's so much more work for me when he's here. He's messy, lazy, and so mean to bs1.
NOPE SDs5 and 7 will be with
NOPE
SDs5 and 7 will be with us in July. The first week are going to WDW. They will spend the next 3 at day camp. They go home on July 31 and won't return until the 2nd weekend in September.
I am also for year round
I am also for year round schooling. I plan to homeschool my 2 boys and they aren't getting a summer vacation.
I hear you. It's not a matter of if ss13 gets in trouble, it's when.
I have never understood home
I have never understood home schooling. I am not being judgmental in any way so please don't take it that way, I am just curious. Do you feel like the kids miss out on learning how to socialize properly with other kids?
I feel like SD15 is a little socially awkward with other kids. She was not homeschooled but never made any friends when she was younger.
But I am for year round schooling!! Definitely-I would even pay money to keep them in school all year }:)
Oh, no it's fine! I think
Oh, no it's fine! I think socializing really depends how it's done. Luckily, we're in an area with a great homeschool co-op and they meet several times a week. Plus there are so many kid-centered activities not through the school districts (plays, sports, etc) that socialization can easily be done.
My mom was an elementary principal and just seeing it from that perspective made me never want to put my kids in a public or private school if possible. Also, I was gifted and school bored me so much. If they are like my I'd like to avoid that if possible.
SS14 is also with us full
SS14 is also with us full time but the the thought of him home all day lounging on my sofa while I'm working drives me batty. Also, MY 14 year old dd has a job this summer while ss is going to be sitting his lazy ass around doing nothing. My other two kids-ds12 and dd10 have a couple of different camps and events planned. SS? nada. He has nowhere to go, nothing to do, has only one friend. He cant get a job as I am quite certain he will be fired. There are only so many places to work around here and if he gets fired noone else will hire him-so we are holding off on that.
Even with year round schools,
Even with year round schools, parents have to pay for child care during the 3 or 4 weeks that their kids are tracked out.
If year round school became the norm, it would be a nightmare for blended families. It would be impossible to ensure all the kids(his, hers, ours) were on the same track.
Middle school and elementary aged kids living in the same home may be on different tracks.
Yes I sure am dreading it, we
Yes I sure am dreading it, we only take all 3 skids for a week each month but the boy wants to stay 2 weeks and thats fine with me i get along great with him but having all 3 there for a full week plus mine is way too much for me...sd7 is a brat and won't listen to me at all so im sure this is going to be fun. I wonder sometimes why i even put myself into this situation...is love really enough to be disrespected every time they come, or ignored or told im not their blood or the list goes on and on
