I recently discovered that many mothers and fathers actually dread summer for the mere fact that, without the structure of school for their children, they are left to fend for themselves. They have to either find childcare or camp while they are at work — which can be very expensive – or be at home with their kids all day long — a stark contrast to the respite they enjoyed most weekdays September through June.

Divorcing mothers and fathers have the additional challenge of having half of all the resources they once had and, more often than not, the added complication of shared custody. Everything about summer is more difficult.
