So, what is the truth about summer break? Is it the joy and fun students think it is?

Perhaps for the kids. But what about the parents?

Parents took to Twitter to reveal the truth about what they experience. Here are some samples of the “joys of summer break.”

- Summer Vacation is an oxymoron.

- Less than a month into summer break and coffee isn’t cutting it anymore.

- I hate when I’ve been at home with my kids for two months for summer break and it’s actually only been two weeks.

- First week: I can’t wait to do fun stuff with the kids. Second week: When does school start.

- Couldn’t sleep. Out of coffee. Three kids on summer break. I think this is how the Hunger Games got started.

- If you are wondering how awesome my summer break is going, my kid just found a harmonica.

- Day 2 of summer vacation: just told the kids to “fight nicely.”

- Warm weather must give me headaches because I’ve had this one since summer break started.

- Two weeks into summer break and I’m living in my bedroom like it’s an army bunker.

- I’m quite certain the phrase ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction” was originally used for siblings who are nearing the end of summer break.

- By 10 a.m. on the first day of summer break, my son said he was bored. The chore list I am about to make will wrap around the earth three times.

- Day 2 of summer break: I can feel the aging process occurring in my body.

- Summer break, Week 1: Can I have a popsicle for breakfast? NO. Summer break, Week 2: Can I have a popsicle for breakfast? AFTER you eat your real breakfast. Summer break, Week 3: What’s for breakfast? Popsicles.

Good luck, parents. Enjoy your summer break.
