    As a former educator, we also had Stages of Summer: 1) what did I forget to do before I left my office for 2 months, and am I supposed to be somewhere right now? 2) Well, this is lovely, and life couldn't get any better. 3) I'm ready for the children to go back to school. 4)SUMMER END PANIC - did I relax enough? Did all the yard projects get done? Did I take enough trips?? DID I SUMMER HARD ENOUGH???!! Stage 5) ....is just a lot of resignation, identifying as a victim, and inevitable reluctance.

    Younger Gex X here (50 years old.) I lived on a farm in what was then rural AZ. Not only did you NEVER say you're bored out loud, you always looked busy when a parent was around. We had a chore list every morning and my mother's superpower was thinking up jobs on the spot to add to it for: idleness, back talk, failing to do an already listed chore correctly the first time by the scheduled deadline, sibling squabbles, making noise during siesta in your bedroom between 2-4pm, and complaining about being bored. Be quick and be quiet.YOu wanna make noise? Go outside where no one inside can hear you.
    All of my relatives back in AZ have been suffering for more than a month with over 110 degrees. I don't complain to them about the weather here in Raleigh. I also don't brag about it. I was in the trenches for 45 years-I know better.

They all HATED that and would walk away rolling their eyes, presumably off to find something to do, or to convince my hubby to take them to the river. My second response was to offer a list of interesting options. My third response was for anyone who was a repeat whiner - they got a chore. They learned quickly not push me to the third response.

Above ground gas storage tanks used to be not very expensive. So plenty of backup to the backup, issue many ppl don't drive diesels. So to keep a bunch on hand may not make sense for folks.

    We've passed the "there's plenty of time to put out the lawn furniture and hook up all the hoses etc...." and we are in the "why bother now, summer is almost over" stage. And since there's nothing new on TV, we also started watching Suits for the first time! We were not in the 110 degrees of summer, we were in the constant rain every weekend summer.

    Sadly I've had a start summer with my husband needing an emergency appendindectomy, continue summer with my mom's hip going out, culminating in having to make the decision on which of us is becoming the stay at home parent to take care of both our son and my mother, and is wrapping up with this morning having my husband wake up in excruciating pain at the surgery site, meaning another trip to the hospital.
    This summer is definitely filling up our anti bucket list.

    😂 Stage one is SO very me. We used to do a summer contract with the kids every year partly to identify expectations. We are kind of in stage 5 by your plan, but instead of just planning next year, we're trying to cram as much as we can into the next few weeks.

    118 degrees is my every summer here on the Mexico/Texas border lol. And August is always the worst. Unfortunately I don't get any time off in the summer, so my poor kid is bored at home most of the day. He doesn't have any friends that live nearby, and summer camps are expensive and not even for the whole day. It's been a struggle. We did take a vacation in June and he spent a few days with my mom, but we're kind of counting the days until he can go back to school and see friends.
    But I have noticed that an usual amount of people traveled abroad this summer. Not to solely to Italy necessarily, but Europe in general, and also Japan.

    Yes! Everyone is gone! We're in stage: we have kids in two different school districts so we're trying to cram in fun stuff real fast before two go back and the other still gets to hang (she'll be at Camp You're Helping Clean the House I Don't Care if Your Siblings Don't Because They're in School).
    Truthfully I do make a summer to do list and we cross it all off but it's mostly "get a snow cone" and other things I know we can get done. And why are kids complaining they're bored? It's summer and you're not in school so just frickin RELAX.

    I’m at the “We just got back from a vacation and I have to catch up” stage of summer. If you’re looking for somewhere olde and Europe-like but cheap (for Americans) and requiring no overseas travel, May I suggest Quebec City, Quebec, Canada? Founded in 1608, it has a section with narrow cobblestone streets and a funicular like European cities, but modern hotels and smaller crowds. A three-hour drive away, you have Montreal, the fourth largest French-speaking city in the world, with an historic quarter and more modern things like botanical gardens and great shopping. We just returned from a vacation in Quebec and had a fantastic time. We do speak some French, and our two kids are fluent, but I think you could get by with just English in the cities. Good luck with the rest of your summer - it goes by so fast! Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go do some laundry…

On just the second day of school, we woke up to storms. They don't cancel school for that, but - lucky us - all the power in the city went out and school got canceled! Power was out all day. Yay! That first day with them in school was such a TEASE. 😂

Now we're facing stage 2 but it's everyone's at the lake or going there. The kids are in stage 5 already because of their trip but hubby and I are caught somewhere between stages 3 and 4 and are happy to just be back to "normal" and enjoying any alone time we can steal. School starts here Sept 5.
