7 Problems Parents Face When Kids Go Back to School

Once the dog days of summer come to a close and it’s time for the kids to go back to school, the schedule changes and getting back into a routine can be challenging for busy parents. But don’t worry – you aren’t alone. Here are some of the most common problems that parents face once the school year begins:


Getting the kids out of bed


No matter how many mantras like “the early bird gets the worm” you tell your kids, there are still mornings where they just don’t want to get out of bed, especially if they’ve been out of school all summer. Try using a bullhorn to sound the alarm. Your kids will jump out of bed, and it’ll give you a nice chuckle to start your day.


Finding their shoes


Much like the washing machine always seems to eat socks, why does it seem like your kid’s shoes were swallowed somewhere in the house? It’s never the towels or their clothes – just their shoes. Be sure to check the toy box or the PlayStation area. These items have a secret, heat-seeking beacon built in for shoes.


Doing homework


If you’ve spent all night arguing with the kids about homework or just gave up trying to help them with new math, go with the classic the dog ate the homework excuse. The teacher doesn’t need to know you don’t have a dog.


Not making the cupcakes


Every parent experiences the dreaded “Mom or Dad, I needed cupcakes for school today” comment as you are walking out the door, and the kids swear they told you last week. Luckily Sprinkles is right around the corner. Grab a plate from home and transfer from the official container. And don’t forget to smudge an icing or two to give it that homemade look.


Locating that permission slip (that you know you signed)


Maybe the kids did forget to tell you about the cupcakes, but remember that permission slip that you signed for a field trip? Where did it go? Don’t worry. You left it in the last place you thought to look. It’s a strategy that works every time.


Catching a cab


Getting the kids off the school and still getting yourself to work on time is one of the biggest struggles for a parent. The second is catching a cab when you need one and are already late. Bring the morning bullhorn with you and distract the person getting into the cab in front of you, then dash in ahead of them. Sure, the honk and dash isn’t nice, but when it comes to getting everyone where they need to be on time, it’s the Wild West.


Your child comes home with lice


While making light of daily parent issues like getting the kids off to school is fun, dealing with lice is no laughing matter. If you do find that your child has lice or if there’s a suspected outbreak at school, schedule an appointment at one of our six treatment salons in the Tri-state area to get your child screened or treated for lice in just one session without harmful chemicals.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
