I don’t know about you but where I live, we’re in the middle of a heat wave. Even just five minutes spent outside means sweat running down my back and a strong desire to go back indoors where there’s air conditioning. It’s rough out there. It’s even rougher on all the parents out there. We don’t have to tell you that parenting is a full-time job. It’s actually more than a full-time job, it’s a 24/7 job. 

It’s one of the only types of those. It doesn’t stop just because it’s cresting over 100 degrees where you live and your AC unit can’t keep up. You still need to schlep your kid to the daycare place before you schlep to work before you schlep back to pick them up, clothes now completely soaked through. It’s not our favorite way to spend the day, but it’s necessary.
