How does Meredith Masony address the challenges of winter break for parents?

Hi, I’m Meredith Masony from That’s Inappropriate. How can I help?

In the winter break videos and posts, the whole vibe is: parents are hanging on by a thread and that is normal. Winter break is portrayed as chaotic, loud, and exhausting, not magical perfection.

I lean into humor and honesty:

• Joking about kids being home 24/7 and destroying routines
• Admitting I’m “never actually prepared” for the break
• Using hashtags like #WinterBreak2018 to create a sense of “we’re all in this together,” so parents feel seen, not alone or failing.

What part of winter break stresses you out the most?
