Are you a parent who is ecstatic that your children are returning to school? It’s not just you! While many parents are eager to send their children back to school, youngsters may dread the end of summer vacation. Some people are so ecstatic that they can’t help but rejoice!

Bored Panda recently put together a collection of overly-excited parents posing with their less-excited children on the first day of school. The contradictory emotions of this “sad” event are hilariously captured in the pictures. These parents love their newfound independence, as evidenced by fist pumps and high kicks.

But why are parents so eager for the start of the school year? It signifies returning to routine and structure to start. Parents might be eager for a more predictable routine after months of unstructured summer days. The start of the school year also frequently means a break from the ongoing obligations of daycare. Parents may have more free time now that the kids are back in school to devote to their interests.

Of course, not all parents look forward to the start of the school year. Some people may be saddened by how quickly their children are growing up or concerned for their children’s safety and well-being. Additionally, children’s parents’ eagerness may bother them more than anything else, who are apprehensive about the beginning of a new school year.
