Summer might be a vacation for the kids but what about the parents?
Groupon did a survey of 2,000 parents asking how they deal with their children’s schedules being wide open for three months.
The findings: It takes less than two weeks for most moms and dads to start feeling stressed out. On average, parents wish their kids were back in school after just 13 days of summer vacation.
Most of this stress happens when having to find ways to keep the kids entertained and busy, while three out of five parents say they are worried that their summer plans won’t live up their kids’ expectations.
By the time August or September rolls around, 75% of parents say they’re ready for their kids to return to school.
