There's nothing like the heat of summer when you're a kid. It's the perfect opportunity to eat dripping popsicles, play with the garden hose, and run around the neighborhood gathering knee scrapes. The heat doesn't bother you when you're a kid. You just sweat and don't think a thing about it. When you're an adult, however, the heat starts feeling like an annoying friend you hope you don't run into. "I can't come, the heat is gonna be there," you think. It ruins your makeup and makes you sweat through your clothes. It's… not it.
Parenting in the summer is all about lowering the bar of expectation. Since there's really no schoolwork to get done or milestones to accomplish, it's just time to relax and loosen the reigns. But of course, it's not too loose or your kid might set the neighborhood on fire with a stray sparkler. But nonetheless, it's chill time, so sit back, relax, and let the tweets soothe you.
