Summer “break” should mean the kids stay at school for 3 entire months while parents get a break, not the other way around

I’ve now concluded it’s called, “summer break” instead of “summer vacation, child induced, nervous breakdown.”

Sure summer is chaotic with kids home all day and constant disasters popping up around the house, but there’s also suffocating humidity, searing heat and unquenchable thirst.

My kid was pissed after calculating
that he goes to school for 10 months
a year and on summer break for
only two.
I was equally disappointed,
but also impressed with his math skills.
