The article discusses the hectic nature of May, dubbed 'Maycember,' where parents juggle various school-related obligations such as presentations, teacher conferences, and spirit week activities. The term captures the overwhelming schedule similar to the pre-holiday period in December. Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie, co-hosts on TODAY, express their frustrations with these demands, emphasizing the emotional toll it takes on parents, especially mothers. For many, it’s a season of chaotic preparations and forgotten responsibilities, making May feel far less like a break and more like a battle.
One recent victim of Maycember: Connecticut mom Barb Vigorito, who received 'the worst letter' from her daughter's school: Titled 'ABC Countdown,' it was a catalog of 26 theme days for each letter of the alphabet.
Jenna Bush Hager said on TODAY, 'Here we are, in Maycember, in the middle of May,' highlighting the chaos parents experience during this month.
The 'problem' with Maycember, added Jenna, is that, 'In December, we're like, 'Oh yeah, you know, Christmas and such,' which reminds us that it's going to be a busy time... We forget and it sneaks up on us.'
Savannah pointed out: 'It just gets to be a lot for moms,' underscoring the heightened pressures that parents, especially mothers, face during May.
