When I was a kid, Staples ran a back to school ad where parents were rejoicing to someone singing "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" This is my fourth back to school as a parent and I still cannot relate whatsoever. I miss my little buddies. :(

Oh I do understand needing a break and enjoying time alone! Especially for full time working parents. I only work part time so I'm not nearly as burnt out. The commercial from forever ago though was definitely coming from the "I hate my wife and kids" boomer humour of the time.
