DISavantages of kids going back to school after the summer break!

The only disadvantages I would have would be that I would not be able to see the grand children if I stopped over at my son's during the day. I use to enjoy the summers with my kids, taking them to the beach, shopping, going on picnics, gardening, etc. But, then it was nice when they went back to school too. It was a joy to watch them grow up. Sure miss those days. Enjoy them while you can. All to soon you end up with the empty nest syndrome. They are off building their lives and you are once again alone. Hugs

I know what you mean, Humbug25! My girls are older now and I don't have to wake up with them in the mornings (which is good because I presently do a contract job that is late at night)... but I've always been a parent that misses my kids when school starts up again. I actually ENJOY having them around and always have LOL I like the ease of not being restricted by the clock... it's just a more relaxed time of year that feels more "human" to me When they get back to classes, it means I'm making lunches every night again and checking in about what laundry might need to be done and other such things. Yes, they are out of high school but I still prepare lunches and do their laundry. They both live at home, which saves me a LOT of money in regards to dorms or what have you... so I feel good about making sure they continue to eat healthy and have the things they need. I like being their mom, no matter how old they get

The disadvantages? Hmm... since my kids will be starting class in 2 days WOOT! For myself I'll miss having them around and all togeather, though the constant fighting I could do without! Then you got this business about getting up early, and Mom aka ME even earlier so I can make sure we get our tushes out the door ontime and things are set up and ready to roll. Disadvantages to the kids besides the above is that my kids have some learning issues/disabilities so for them to get back to the same page they were at when they finished school in June w/o falling behind in the current term's lessons.

Disadvantage? I have to get up earlier and actually drop them off at school. then at night I have to help them with homework and all that wonderful stuff...

For me yes it is the kind of want to have more vacation than school if the student don't want to be in school it is happened.

My kids are also going back to school next week. My youngest will be in kindergarten, and this is the first year that it will be a whole day thing for them. The thing I most like about it is that it will give them some regularity in their routine. That they sleep early, wake up early, and do some home work. Instead of just playing all the time.

The worst thing for me is having to avoid the buses at 3pm and certainly the traffic. When I go to the gym I have to make sure that I avoid coming home between 3 and 4 because the traffic is dire! So I have to change my routine so that I avoid that particular hour when school lets the kids out and it's bedlam on the roads! I never catch a bus either between 3 and 4 either. That is the main disadvantage when kids are back at school when the timing!

Since I home school my child, there really is not a disadvantage to school starting back up. I feel as though it is important to get back into more of a routine for the school year, but we can still do fun stuff that we have done while we were not doing school. Our summer is busy with 4-H stuff and horse shows, so I think that we do more activities when we are actually in our school year.

The main disadvantage that I can think of from my daughter going back to school (she started back on the 12th of August) is that I don't get to spend as much time with her as I got to during the summer. In addition to that, she doesn't get as much rest as she had been getting and that means that she is more grouchy than she had been during the summer break. Of course, with her dad still having four more chemotherapy treatments, another disadvantage is that she is exposed to more germs.

After weeks of resting at home, it is not easy to get back your form to cope with the challenges of academic work. But with time you will get back what you miss as a result of your long stay at home. It is not easy to adjust to another way of life. but just take heart with time you will adjust and you fit into the system that you left as a result of the long holidays. happy resumption !

children after their summer holidays,they have to get up early in the morning..they miss their happiness,jolly,tv programmes..parents at home will feel lonely after they went to school..they will be busy with their homework,school friends,teachers comments etc..parents will desolve slowly from their mind..thz makes the parents to feel cumbersome

our laziness will also disappear!!!!!!!!!
