What My Kids Really Think About Summer (And School, Kind Of)

May 22, 2025 • Jaime McLaughlin

In today’s episode, I handed the mic over to two very special (and very opinionated) guests—my 7- and 9-year-old daughters. We talk all about the highs and lows of the school year, their big summer dreams, and why staying up late is apparently the greatest thing that’s ever happened to childhood.

You’ll hear their thoughts on snacks, boredom, pool days, and what moms need to know if they want to keep the peace (hint: more popsicles, less “just a minute”). It’s equal parts hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly insightful.

If you're a mom trying to make summer magical without losing your mind, this one’s for you.
