Counting down the days until school starts? This funny back to school parenting blog shares the chaos, the laughs, and the survival tactics every mom needs to make it to September.
Why the Back-to-School Countdown Feels Like Christmas
We are officially on countdown mode. Forget New Year’s Eve, forget birthdays—this is the REAL party season. The kids go back to school in just a matter of days, and honestly? I’ve never loved numbers more in my life.
Every morning I wake up and whisper to myself: “Only X more sleeps.” It’s like Christmas, but instead of Santa bringing presents, the teachers are taking my children. For six whole hours. Every. Single. Day. Pure bliss.
The Chaos Leading Up to School
Because let’s be honest, this countdown isn’t glamorous—it’s messy, loud, and powered by caffeine.
Shoes That Never Fit
Two kids, two pairs of shoes, both from the same shop, and neither fits. One’s too tight, one’s too loose. At this point, I’m convinced school shoe shopping is just a social experiment to test how far moms can bend before breaking.
The Bedtime Battle
Five days to go, I bravely attempt to reintroduce “school night” bedtimes. By 10pm, the kids are still bouncing around, wide awake like caffeinated owls. Meanwhile, I’m googling “how much sleep do children really need?”
Back-to-School Day Bliss (a.k.a. Adult Interaction at Last)
Then finally—the big day arrives. I march them to the gates like a woman on a mission, wave goodbye (trying not to skip away too obviously), and head straight into work.
And honestly? Work feels like a holiday. A full day of adult conversation, zero snack negotiations, and nobody fighting over who sat where on the sofa. This funny back to school parenting blog may be powered by chaos, but let me tell you—September mornings are the fuel that keep us mums alive.
Final Thoughts
So yes, I’m clinging to this countdown like it’s my lifeline. Because as much as I adore the madness of summer, there’s nothing quite like the sweet relief of back-to-school season.
