US EditionWhy parents dread this time of year the most
- A 2025 poll surveyed 2,000 U.S. Millennial parents who feel stressed and exhausted near the school year's end, especially in May.
- Parents report this stress comes from balancing work with kids' summer schedules, unpredictable routines, and household demands beginning 28 days before school ends.
- The study shows 46% struggle to find personal time, 59% feel too tired to cook, 53% run out of dinner ideas, and 36% juggle feeding children plus other evening tasks.
- Marissa Wilson of Bob Evans explained that the end of the school year is challenging for parents as they work hard to support their children while managing their own busy schedules, and that mealtime often becomes a significant source of pressure during this time.
- Parents say more sleep, easy meals, and shared household responsibilities would ease stress, while some wish for magically prepared dinners and planned camps.
