taking a break, aries2756- If you are laying blame on the school, then you cant have a “tayna” on any individual girl. Also, I know for myself that I cannot stay home every day with my kids. Yes, I am a male, but its not entirely a gender issue. Some women dont either have the patience to stay home all day.
And as your friend wrote “I just cannot understand…” thats fine. You dont need to understand, you need to be dan lkaf zchus.
I agree with PBA. The more educated one is, the more the need for intellectual stimulation exists. Women today are a lot more educated than they were prior to the Bais Yakov movement. Do you want to blame Sora Schneirer?!
happiest- You must have been the perfect angel, but most of us as kids were not. On break, kids expect their parent to wine and dine them and go on elaborate and expensive vacations. The sibling bickering and kvetching is at an all time high because everyone is bored. Parents have a hard time running errands and taking care of things when the kids are home. But I do agree that parents should never verbalize the desire for school to start in front of their kids.
