Speaker 1 (00:00):
Please, he's deeper in the den with dangerous day. So
what's the hardest time a year to be a parent?
Summer because your kids aren't in school, or maybe the
chaos at Christmas. Well, according to a new pool, the
hardest time of the year to be a parent is
right now leading up to summer. Thirty five percent said
the end of the school year is harder on them
than back to school season is. Forty percent said the

(00:21):
same thing about spring, fall and winter breaks, partly because
summer plans have to be made stuff like sports and
summer camps and summer vacations. The average parents starts feeling
into school stress twenty eight days before the year ends,
so most parents are in it are about to be anyway.
Here's a breakdown of the average week for parent time.
Twenty two percent spent it working, fourteen percent sleeping, thirteen

(00:44):
percent eating and preparing meals, ten percent, shuttling your kids
to town, nine percent making summer plans, and eight percent
for the leftover time you take to yourself, So just
eight percent of your time is to yourself. It doesn't
get much easier in June or July either. Summers might
be the best time a year for your kids, but
not for the parents. A third of parents polled said
they probably won't have a single stress free day all

(01:07):
summer long. Well, hopefully you get one day to relax
deeper in the two. Well, it seems like certain number
of foreigners will have a certain amount of disdain for Americans.
Why not sure? Well? A website scoured social media findings
things that foreigners actually like about Americans. Some of the
things are interesting, some of the responses are pretty random.

(01:28):
For example, my favorite thing about Americans is how football
fields is used as a unit of measurement. Yeah, it's
about three football fields that way, do it all the time.
How Americans say coffee coffee depends upon who you are
or where you're from. One person said, I love how
Americans make a salad where the primary ingredient is pasta.

(01:48):
I love pasta salad. Also how we call our dogs
and cats stuff like Cooper and Tucker and Tanner, and
how Americans say things like I got you and you
do genuinely feel reassured, or how we have mysterious unexplained
food substances like hot grits and sloppy Joe's. One person said,
my favorite thing is when they say question before asking

(02:10):
a question, and then another person said, I love when
they say period to finish a sentence and that's all
I have to say about that period. How about I
love Americans and how they use a favorite regional gas station,
also extreme disgust for line cutters, how we decorate for
every season, how we say things like whoopoit he whoop

(02:32):
and say more about that, but really whoopody whoop. How
About Americans how much they genuinely enjoy discussing the weather,
primarily in the Midwest. One person said I love how
Americans greet each other by saying, how you doing, Oh,
how you doing? But we never answer back how we're doing.
I guess that's true, should we? It just extends the conversation.
And one person said, I love how we pronounce duty duty. Well,

(02:56):
maybe it's our duty to duty. I believe it's number
