- I'm a mom of two kids, ages 9 and 11.
- I divorced their dad and we share custody, so I only see them half the time.
- I feel the pressure to make our time together memorable.
One thing I didn't expect as a divorced parent is how different summer would be. The everlasting days of summer feel rushed and hurried now and then feel too long when my kids aren't with me. It's crushing.
