Great commercial - but - I personally feel the opposite. Maybe it’s because I didn’t get enough time with my father before it was all over, but I love spending as much time as I can with my kids.
There seems to be more time in the summer... But the truth is sometimes I wish the whole darned “system” wasn’t one in which, in order to afford a house, parents get only a few hours a day with their kids.
Thanks to Women’s Liberation now both parents work, and the kids have the advantage of daily indoctrination by bored, self-important homosexuals.
At the same time, I suspect many parents truly are happy to be RID of their children come September. These are likely the same pro-abortion parents who send their kids off to camp all summer and vote for confiscatory rates of taxation so the government can do THEIR JOB, be it in the realm of education or morality. These parents are truly loathsome.
As for enhancing the parent-child bond via more time and to avoid the indoctrination that infects "educators" of all shapes and sizes and predelictions, have you considered homeschooling? It is not a panacea - I speak from experience - and many times situations truly preclude that pathway, but looking back on what Mrs DoodleBob and I achieved, it was worth not being invited to the club because our cars averaged 150,000 miles on their odometers (the other parents probably also though we were nuts).
Our children are now all adults but my wife and I were out shopping and saw the store was stocking school supplies. I felt a bit of sadness because even at my age it means Summer will be over soon. We loved having our children home for the Summer, maybe because I always had great times during my Summer vacations and never wanted them to end.
