Changed the title as it wasn’t clear
I don’t really get the question. How do we “manage” it? In what way, what aspect(s)?
From parents I know, it can be a bit challenging, especially if they are too small to be left to themselves.
There are many summer day camps for children that cover parents’ typical work hours.
If on vacation, and a parent to small children, I’m going to assume any responsible parent will not leave their children alone whatsoever, unless the children are asleep in a safe place.
It’s “challenging” as much as the rest of the year when not on vacation, in my opinion.
Maybe I’m still misunderstanding or missing something.
Summer vacation = kids not at school during the day, i.e. unsupervised during work hours.
Yes, that’s what I meant, thanks!
Edit:I guess "summer breaks"is probably more what I meant than “summer vacation”, so I changed the title
barely.
When they were younger, my wife and I basically had to work different shifts, although there were also long stretches where I just worked less(because I had found ways to make good money like so). Once they turned 6 years old, Boys & Girls Club was a lifesaver. During the summer, the kids actually prefered to go there on days we didn’t have anything fun planned(nor $$$ for activities).
Either bring along a nanny or go to places that have nanny care available.
