How do moms really feel about the back to school season? Back to school can be as emotional a time for moms, as it is for kids. Just as we are getting used to our Summer routine and having our children home more, it’s time to begin another school year. No more sleeping in, if you’ve been lucky enough to have that luxury over the summer break. The new school year brings a whole new set of worries for moms. We worry about our children making new friends, and are fearful of them being bullied. The pressure is on for them to make good grades and we can only hope that they will have a good teacher. In some ways the back to school season means relief for moms, as we get back some time for ourselves. Are you secretly celebrating back to school?

I wasn’t surprised to learn the majority of us would like more help with housekeeping, while the kids are back at school. Of course, it’s mom who will be doing most of the crying on the first day.
It always seemed that my kids were happier going back to school than I was to see them go, but there always was a lot of preparation
