I’m in the “what happened to summer?” stage of summer! Seriously, this summer flew by so fast!

That water from the hose was the official sports drink of my childhood 😄

We’re on our way to Italy, but if it makes you feel better this is our “let’s plan for next summer” from 2022.😂

As a former educator, we also had Stages of Summer: 1) what did I forget to do before I left my office for 2 months, and am I supposed to be somewhere right now? 2) Well, this is lovely, and life couldn't get any better. 3) I'm ready for the children to go back to school. 4)SUMMER END PANIC - did I relax enough? Did all the yard projects get done? Did I take enough trips?? DID I SUMMER HARD ENOUGH???!! Stage 5) ....is just a lot of resignation, identifying as a victim, and inevitable reluctance.

On phase: "It's so painfully and ruthlessly hot we're going to scream!" This phase of summer makes me want summer to ennnnddd. We saw fall decor in the store the other day, and I ushered all our kids over and said "Let's just stand here and pretend it's getting cooler". It was a new low. 🤣🤪🤣

I am in Stage 6 - otherwise known as tired of the hot weather and getting ready for my favorite season - Autumn! The other night at bedtime, I set the AC at 66 and played an hours and hours long YT video of blizzard winds beside my bed, while I snuggled under the covers and drifted off to sleep. I am not even kidding.

I love that you have an outro instead of an intro. 👍🏼

I’m in the stage of summer where I don’t want it to be over but I can feel it slipping away.

I love the Pluto - Never Forget t-shirt.

GenX rule…don’t say I’m bored to an adult 😂

Am in ‘oh my gosh it’s nearly fall and I need to cast on to knit 5 sweaters”. Winter is coming!

I'm 51 and literally don't know a single person who has been to Italy. But I grew up and have remained lower class, and pretty much everyone else I knew was lower class. That's just a testament to how entertaining you guys are, because I don't relate to a lot of what you post, but yet here I still am, lol.

Younger Gex X here (50 years old.) I lived on a farm in what was then rural AZ. Not only did you NEVER say you're bored out loud, you always looked busy when a parent was around. We had a chore list every morning and my mother's superpower was thinking up jobs on the spot to add to it for: idleness, back talk, failing to do an already listed chore correctly the first time by the scheduled deadline, sibling squabbles, making noise during siesta in your bedroom between 2-4pm, and complaining about being bored. Be quick and be quiet.YOu wanna make noise? Go outside where no one inside can hear you. All of my relatives back in AZ have been suffering for more than a month with over 110 degrees. I don't complain to them about the weather here in Raleigh. I also don't brag about it. I was in the trenches for 45 years-I know better.

I had to laugh at "leave on your bike in the morning, and not come home until the lights came on". Except, we didn't have street lights. So if you heard mom yelling...you rode your asses off to get home before you heard dad starting in...lol

I’m watching this hilarious video from my beachfront condo in Italy….😂

I’m on stage binge watching Friends for the second time in a row. Most relaxing summer ever. 😀 hope everyone is having a great summer!

Our summer holidays in South Africa are not that long (4-5 weeks) and my 5yo daughter already has learned to not announce she is bored. Because i WILL give her something to clean.

Stage 3 was my whole childhood summers!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

I’m in the “I just went into my classroom for the first time since June but I don’t want to do any of the things I need to to get ready for this year” 😅 We don’t start until after Labor Day but I’m getting married in September so I need to relabel my entire classroom library with my new name.

This made me feel so validated. Exactly how my summer went.

I think that box of extra cords Penn put on the garage shelf will end up being the cause of a new video later 😜

Guys I live in Tucson Arizona, EVERY DAY is summer. We have had over 65 days of heat over 100. So I have been over summer for YEARS. I have never been so happy my kids are grown and out of the house as when summer hits.

It's nothing but rain here, in the Netherlands! Love our summers... And for all those people you know that went to Italy, it was very very hot there, apparently 😅

I don’t think Gen Z has had the pleasure of drinking out of a hose or going outside when it rain with their friends. I didn’t have ITALY FOMO until this video. I just now recall how everyone was in Italy. 2 weeks left and time to plan for next summer.

From here in the Southern Hemisphere winter: it all sounds amazing. Every bit of it. Every stage of summer.

I'm on stage: unemployed for 135 days after being downsized on my birthday via zoom while out to lunch with my wife on vacation stage of summer.

Hahaha every kid pre 2000 got kicked out right after breakfast and told not to come back till lunch 😂. Whining we were bored qlways ended with a chore (or 3) 😂

I'm in "Where did the sun go, it has been raining for two weeks now. Oh well, I guess end of the summer just came?" 😅😂

I'm already at the stage where I'm excited for fall. Autumnal decorating, cinnamon, pumpkins, yeaahhhh. Good stuff.

I’m literally in the “there’s only 3 weeks left of summer “let’s cram everything into 1 week because my husband finally decided to take off at last minute stage (the week before school starts)”. Luckily, our 2 older boys flew off to CO from MN for 2 weeks to visit the grands and they spoiled them immensely and never stopped moving so they were happy to come to chill. Hasty Potter marathon has been a hit!

That's totally how I feel, especially with all of my neighbours inexplicably heading to Italy together! 😂🇮🇹

I'm on the "back from camping, one more party and then mommy's pretending it's fall for the rest of summer" stage lol

Hilarious! And true. I'm on the stage of reretting signing everyone up for camps, weeks of driving back and forth hours out of a day every day, and being completely exhausted after really needing a relaxing summer. But I have happy campers who want to do it again next year!😂

Summer is when the grandparents are kept more busy watching the kids, taking them out to eat, to the library, etc, while the parents keep working. Although we got to have a mini 5 day vacation visiting the Ozarks and Jefferson City.

I'm going to Italy in 7 weeks... LOL!! My travel agent told me Italy is VERY popular this year, for real! 😁

When Penn sniffed that hibiscus, it sounded like he snorted a line. I laughed like a hyena!

I typically jump from 1-4 but I'm currently at the stage of "I'll do summer things when they move out"

The "I'm bored" situation - with five kids I had several reactions. The first - if someone said "I'm bored" I'd respond "Nice to meet you, I'm plywood." They all HATED that and would walk away rolling their eyes, presumably off to find something to do, or to convince my hubby to take them to the river. My second response was to offer a list of interesting options. My third response was for anyone who was a repeat whiner - they got a chore. They learned quickly not push me to the third response.

Omg the Italy envy part is absolutely me!!😅😅😅😅

I'm in the "It seemed like a great idea to plant all these veggies this spring" stage. Keeping up with the harvesting. Also at the buying spooky stuff at Homegoods and Michael's stage of summer. ;)

I'm in the procrastinating on making a summer bucket stage. I will probably make one just as fall starts. Then I procrastinate on my fall bucket list.

Suits!!!! The best! Just finished... that is how my summer went. Lol

Don’t miss the “children entrainment” summers…. My favourite was the mothers breakfast on the first day of school….I do miss those!

We’re in the not with me stage, and can’t wait for school to start this week stage 😂.

I also need a variety of skin creams, silence, pillows all over, and total darkness when i go to bed. 😂

I love the honesty!!! I can totally relate!! ☺️❤️

I'm in the "teacher getting work emails about back to school stuff" stage and I'm wondering why summers go so dang fast??? 🤔

We’ve always had a tight budget and only gone on vacation to visit family in nearby states. This year, it’s hitting me HARD that my oldest is 14 and will be gone in less than 4 years! So I’ve actually been much more intentional, planning more, making memories. We’ve gone to a nearby reservoir, pools, local amusement park, camped in the backyard, visited grandparents, and have a “staycation” planned for next weekend-45 minutes away 😂 in a hotel with a fantastic pool. And it’s been wonderful! So I’m in Stage Wow, summer is nearly over already? 😢 Instead of Stage I’M GOING TO STRANGLE THEM IF SCHOOL DOESN’T START SOON! 😂

In North TX w/ no adolescent children, it's always summer... Until it becomes the South Pole. Either way, just staying inside watching Kim & Penn on repeat always seems to be the right answer😂

I am at - "I can't wait for summer to be over." or "Hello Autumn!"

Same boat! Only our friends/family are all in Hawaii! Thanks to this video, I just put on my calendar to book a camp EARLY!

Yes! Everyone is gone! We're in stage: we have kids in two different school districts so we're trying to cram in fun stuff real fast before two go back and the other still gets to hang (she'll be at Camp You're Helping Clean the House I Don't Care if Your Siblings Don't Because They're in School). Truthfully I do make a summer to do list and we cross it all off but it's mostly "get a snow cone" and other things I know we can get done. And why are kids complaining they're bored? It's summer and you're not in school so just frickin RELAX.

I'm definitely at the " it's been 110 degrees for the last month with no rain", part of the summer. That's also, the open the door and feel the inferno then, say nope and shut the door, 😡 stage

I’m 41 and I have no kids. You people are my entertainment.

I am in the “it’s been 110 degrees for 18 straight days” summer. Thank you for the recognition. Live in southern Louisiana

Tell him to go sort all of the blades of grass by size and color, this is both a test of obedience, and intelligence. some times you just have to know when to question orders.

We've passed the "there's plenty of time to put out the lawn furniture and hook up all the hoses etc...." and we are in the "why bother now, summer is almost over" stage. And since there's nothing new on TV, we also started watching Suits for the first time! We were not in the 110 degrees of summer, we were in the constant rain every weekend summer.

Absolutely relate. Feels like we are the only ones who did not go overseas.

I'm in the "why isn't it October already?" stage of summer.

June for me was “you’re gonna spend 2 hours every day outside bettering your basketball skills” My august was: “you know, basketball season isn’t even during August, September, OR October! I got time!” We’ll see how November me feels about my dunks.

I am totally feeling this! I think everyone we know went across the water. Italy, England, you name it

YES! Definitely in that last "18 straight days of 110°+ " phase!🥵

Hysterical!!😂 One of your best, guys!

Drinking from the hose, yes!! 😂

🤣🤣🤣 my wife is definitely at the " see other people stage " with our kids, she can't wait for school to start again

Public schools just started here, so we’re taking 2 weeks of homeschool summer vacation (we homeschool year-round and don’t take many breaks at all). This week was a new park everyday, next week is going to the no-longer-crowded pool everyday, then we’ll resume our normal grind. Only, now that PS kids aren’t around, we’ll take our books to parks, nature centers, and other places to be able to enjoy those while also doing our schoolwork in some sunny environments. I love that schools here start a month earlier than where I grew up because we have some summer time fun without the crowds.

I am in the every baseball game is sacred time of summer.

😆So relatable! We're past "Plan the next summer" stage and into the "So, when are we getting out the fall decorations?" stage... Yeah we're there 😁 Oh, and my friends all went to Scotland! 🤗

I am in the “wait, I know we live on a lake but August is the only month where the weather cooperates and YOU want to come visit?”stage of summer……Really looking forward to fall stage of summer. …..Need some kind of schedule stage of summer….. Need to start planning for winter in Arizona stage of summer.

😂 Stage one is SO very me. We used to do a summer contract with the kids every year partly to identify expectations. We are kind of in stage 5 by your plan, but instead of just planning next year, we're trying to cram as much as we can into the next few weeks.

Every summer, I plan for all the big projects we're going to get done. Every summer and the same projects.

Sadly I've had a start summer with my husband needing an emergency appendindectomy, continue summer with my mom's hip going out, culminating in having to make the decision on which of us is becoming the stay at home parent to take care of both our son and my mother, and is wrapping up with this morning having my husband wake up in excruciating pain at the surgery site, meaning another trip to the hospital. This summer is definitely filling up our anti bucket list.

SO accurate!! Next summer will be different. ;)

We’re at the “squeeze in the last few hours of summer because we start school Monday” stage of summer.😅

I was looking forward to my kid being able to play with his friends this summer, and they all ended up traveling the entire summer. Some of them went to Italy! 😆

Its way too hot to be in Italy! They can have it!

I have no kids….I have enjoyed summer traffic and the Monsoon storms. I live in he Southwest..and am in the “done with temps over 100 degrees/Monsoon Humidity”. I am ready for Fall😊! Love you you guy’s videos. This one was awesome…especially the Gen X humor. Looking forward to your Fall videos.

I have a t-shirt that says "I garden so I don't choke people..." Your humor saves the marriage, maybe? 😅

I’m at the “We just got back from a vacation and I have to catch up” stage of summer. If you’re looking for somewhere olde and Europe-like but cheap (for Americans) and requiring no overseas travel, May I suggest Quebec City, Quebec, Canada? Founded in 1608, it has a section with narrow cobblestone streets and a funicular like European cities, but modern hotels and smaller crowds. A three-hour drive away, you have Montreal, the fourth largest French-speaking city in the world, with an historic quarter and more modern things like botanical gardens and great shopping. We just returned from a vacation in Quebec and had a fantastic time. We do speak some French, and our two kids are fluent, but I think you could get by with just English in the cities. Good luck with the rest of your summer - it goes by so fast! Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go do some laundry…

I had a "why is everyone across the world" stage, but I already went to Italy in March lol

Highlight of summer was leaving 112 degrees in Northern CA and landing in 53 degrees in Anchorage AK. Great place to go in the summer, but will avoid in the winter! 🥶

Stage 3 was my childhood! I'd hang out with my friends all day! We'd play in the street, go swimming, reenact Mufasa's death from the lion king which caused me to fall off a wall and get stitches in my head...GOOD TIMES!

We gave our 16 year old the option of a trip to Italy or floor seats to Taylor Swift (Stub Hub 🤦🏼‍♀️) for her sweet 16 gift. ONE guess what she chose… hint… we didn’t go to Italy this summer either. 😂 Italy will be there next year. ❤

LOL 😂. You guys are so funny. Love your content. The whole everyone is going to Italy thing is true. My wife and I are pet care providers. So many of our clients are going there. Keep up the wonderful videos ❤😊

Italy and Greece this summer everyone has the same travel agent 😂

I have 2 preteens, and it was above 110 for over three weeks here in Phoenix. I am delighted that we got away for a bit, that they had YMCA camp (because it's where my husband works), that I got to work this summer, and that they're back in school August 1st. Love them to pieces, but the "You need to not be near me" comes at ya real fast!!

Retired in Florida=every day is summer and lovin' it.

This is us! I love this video! Thank you!

Definitely on the binging Suits stage 😂

I was deep into the Not With Me phase leading up to the start of the school year. I love my kids but I had had enough! Well, Mother Nature gots jokes. On just the second day of school, we woke up to storms. They don't cancel school for that, but - lucky us - all the power in the city went out and school got canceled! Power was out all day. Yay! That first day with them in school was such a TEASE. 😂

I'm in stage 6, "school cannot start soon enough! "

Hello from our Summer vacation in Japan 🇯🇵 (it’s 110 degrees here, too.)

part of my summer was planed by MRSA, meaning 2 weeks isolation in a hospital follow by 2 weeks isolation in home. Having ADD, the 2 weeks in home was only really bad when I wanted some snacks and could not go to the shop.

My kids started back on August 1st!!! So im in the "its way too freaking hot here and im not ready for summer to be over" phase 🔥🤣

This is my first summer after graduating college and it’s been the most eventful yet uneventful summer I’ve ever had 😂 Also for me, everyone went to Italy AND Greece.

Hilarious. More than one group of friends went to Italy and my husband has started binge watching Suits

110 degrees for 18 straight days? YES. I'm getting cooked alive out here!!!

Love summer! We go somewhere every year. You definitely need to break things up. We went to Costa Rica at the beginning of summer and then the beach last weekend. A lot of people went to Italy this year! 😂

I’m watching this from Australia 🇦🇺 and it’s winter here and yet my Facebook feed is also filled with friends Italian holiday pics!!! Is it something in the water?! Because it does seem like to me everyone (at least lots of people I know) are suddenly going to Italy!

We still have a month of summer left and we've managed to avoid most of the stages by taking 2 separate vacations in July (the kids went one place and we went to another no where near each other). Now we're facing stage 2 but it's everyone's at the lake or going there. The kids are in stage 5 already because of their trip but hubby and I are caught somewhere between stages 3 and 4 and are happy to just be back to "normal" and enjoying any alone time we can steal. School starts here Sept 5.
