Back to school shopping > who's ready?

[sherryinutah]

As a child I was NEVER ready for back-to-school anything.  As an adult and a parent I was ALWAYS ready for back-to-school. 

Now that I've survived parenting young children I find that I'm neutral about it all.

I don't have any kids, but I am a little confused.  It wasn't very long ago that school let out.  Won't it be a while until they go back?

Fun fun fun. I don't like that thought it gets too close to winter. I had enough of that this year already.

Such a lovely thing to hear as a parent! lol, But I am not ready for back to school just yet... seems like summer just started here in Michigan!

[metsrock69]

I do not miss those days. now I get to hear my daughter talk about it in another year

[teresa3200]

Oh yes, can't wait!

[NicoleFusion]

Most definitely not ready. So expensive.

My kids are the ones that are actually asking me for back to school shopping. They are all excited.

I am already done, but, only because my oldest is off at college and gets all of her things on campus. My youngest goes to a private school and almost everything he needs comes through his iPad. No need for theme paper, pens, pencils, books. It is one of the many benefits of his sixteen thousand dollar a year tuition! That and non-parent coaches, smaller classrooms, teachers that care, curriculum that includes theology and art. My son was about to go to a public school until 30 tenured teachers left and the coach, for the sport my son plays, was replaced with a morally/ethically corrupt parent.   Both kids buy new clothes whenever they feel the need so a special trip for clothes shopping isn't really necessary.

I am so glad I don't have to do back-to-school shopping.  My baby is now a teacher.
