In some parts of the country, summer vacation has only just started; in others, back-to-school is already on the horizon. This week in the Scary Mommy Confessional, parents are sounding off about both topics. So if you’re struggling to keep kids busy all day in the heat, regretting that trip to see your in-laws, or dreading the homework, viruses, and morning routine struggles that come with a new school year, well, you’ll find your people here. Of course, there are confessions on other topics, too — like secret crushes, messy houses, general exhaustion, and more. Read on for the full roundup.
