Why summer break is hell for many families

From fighting the boredom to swallowing the huge day camp bill, summer break can be tough for many families. Managing childcare and affording the high cost of these summer activities, which are seen as a right by their children, parents are under a lot of stress! Families find themselves scrambling to manage the stress and handle the logistics without losing their minds in the process.

Key Takeaways:

• summer break is virtually impossible for families that have two working parents
• Summer camps are expensive and only last a couple of weeks
• Child care expenses over the summer put a strain on tight budgets
