Happy End of Summer (for those that celebrate) !!


Praise Allah summer is over and the kids are back in school! I fucking hate summer and all parenting chaos that it creates. For those of you childless cat ladies not in the know, summer kid child care scheduling (i.e., all the different camps, etc) is a huge pain in the anose hole.

I like the summer. The weather is nice.
My wife stays at home with the kids so we don't have to deal with trying to find babysitting options all summer long. I highly recommend this arrangement.

The trad wife lifestyle in this economy? Christ.

We don't take trips to Denmark with the kids, but the tradeoff is worth it at this time.

@MrsSnow has expensive tastes and I'm just a pour that can't bring home that level of bacon. It's hard.
That being said, looking across my peer group, it's pretty hard to find the 1 income family these days. It's just not as common as it used to be. My mom was stay at home until we all went off to college.

Cat lady/resident Swifty here. Probably the best part of being so with this shit is I can usually not use any vacation during the summer and just enjoy things locally and then take actual vacation and go places in September-December when they are super cheap and not crowded because kids just went back to school.
