'Back-to-school is so brutal it makes me miss school holidays'

You can spot the back-to-school mum in the office by how often she checks the clock after lunch and the way she tries to muffle her sobs in a cup of coffee.To quote Bart Simpson: "I didn't think this was possible, but this both sucks and blows.""MUM, IT HAS TO BE A BOSTIK GLUE STICK!""I NEED AN BY TOMORROW MUM! NO LATER."

This weekend we have to buy cardboard so my daughter can do a poster which has to include a photo of her and it is due on Monday."It's a frantic week and a fraught one and it makes me deeply miss school holidays."And I haven't even gone into the extraordinary difficulty I am facing taking over my eldest son's distance education.

Parent who cares too much - the best poster ever made, may have called in graphic designers to assist. It makes me proud of the fact I donate to The Smith Family each year because I know how I struggle to pay for everything. I can't imagine what it's like for families who are struggling for basic needs who have to send their kids to school in mismatched uniform items and school books in plastic bags.

Ok, so I’m not a huge fan of the political direction that Nine News have gone recently, but whoever wrote this tweet deserves a raise!

I'm glad I never had kids. Grocery shopping is now a whole lot better...

Ha!

They are doing exactly what the ban was supposed to make them do. “The biggest challenge for us has been some of the parents, who want to be able to contact their kids 24/7,” Mr Duncan says. The parents!? ....
