You've seen the post: "I only have 18 summers left with my kids, so I'm making every one count." Sam and Lucy are calling BS. This week they get into the guilt-trippy side of summer content — the curated Instagram stories versus the actual meltdown at the splash pad an hour earlier — and why the "limited summers" panic hits different depending on whether you're home with your kids full-time or clocking in from a desk.

They also dig into why so much of what gets posted online is really just someone's insecurity in disguise, the mental load of summer camp logistics gone wrong, and the case for a "90s summer" with less curation and more water balloons.
