School season brings about mixed feelings – not only for kids, but for mothers as well. Eager to see some structure for a change as opposed to the crazy summer days, mums look forward to having the kids sleep, eat and play at the same times ever day. However, there’s also a downside to Back to School. Here are some of the things mums love, and “loathe”, about the school season:
1 Packing lunches: Think it’s easy to find something yummy and healthy for the kids to eat? Think again! You may think it’s cute to pack broccoli florets and apples for six days in a row, but we can assure you the kids won’t be big fans.
2 Learn vs. play: Mums love knowing that the kids will be doing something developmental, and it’s guaranteed! Rest assured, they won’t be watching YouTube Kids, playing weird iPad games or watching TV shows which don’t deliver any real benefits while at school.
3 Staying on top of things: Your toddler will suddenly turn into a real estate agent and come up to you over 15 times throughout the day with random papers he needs you to sign. What are these mysterious forms? We don’t really know.
4 Meeting other mums: School is a very social time, and we don’t mean for kids. Mums get to meet each other and support one another with school-related tasks and reminders. We would suggest joining that WhatsApp group for mums.
