Winter, because of the school closings and the long weekends where it's just too cold/wet/windy to go outside for extended periods of time.

I live for the summer, we spend the entire weekend outside at our pool. We have some humidity, but not enough to prohibit being outdoors.

Winter! We take public transportation to her school and between stprms and taking extra time to pack on layers, I'm always late. And the germs and colds!

DH is off during the summer so it's less stress.

Winter (in New England). Illness, daycare closings, and general cold weather would be hard enough but I have a walking commute (and no real alternative means of transportation) so anytime it is extremely cold or there is snow, my commute gets so hard (plus I drop-off and pick-up LO from daycare with the stroller and it gets impossible sometimes in the snow).

Thinking about it late fall / winter is quite tough. All these festivities (halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas) and school closings make it feel like I have suddenly acquired a second job. All the festivities require some sort of attention on my part including costume shopping, candy buying, trick or treat planning, leaving early to go to the school dress up / parade, then the apple picking, pumpkin picking, pumpkin carving, thankgiving dinner planning, christmas tree hunting / decorating / trimming, Christmas gift + stocking stuffing shopping, school closing and holiday planning, if we are going somewhere or not.... Not to mention DS's birthday is January so even more planning right after Christmas. grrrrr.

One day when DS grows up, moves out, and I become an empty nester, I will just lay there from October to January and do absolutely NOTHING. lol

@daniellemybelle: each season brings is challenges. Through summer swim time is difficult for us. LO has long thick curly afro hair and the chlorine is just brutal on her hair. Washing detangling and rebraiding her hair is a long process. So i try to minimize how often we go to the pool but since we walk by it daily she begs to go.

Summer! We have very mild winters here.

I'd say winter too, I'm from the NE. Today it's like 90+ in NY and it's pretty brutal but it's not everyday so I can deal with it. In the winter, with the brute cold and snow and all, I just can't deal!

our weather is pretty mild so i don't think any of the seasons are too bad. we don't really get much snow, it rarely dips below 30 degrees, and the summers rarely get hotter than 90 (usualy 80 is about average). i guess the really rainy seasons are the hardest (fall and ocassionally spring) cause it's annoying to get soaking wet every time you run to the car. but other than that, our area is pretty temperate and enjoyable year-round. yay pnw!!

Winter!!! When we get ice and can't go outside, that is just the worst!!!!!

Winter for sure. Illness. Coldness. Snow. Summer is a somewhat close second though because people are annoying and stupid and loud outside.

@Mrs. Sunshine: um, I literally had days when it was 50 degrees this spring and I was like, do we even need jackets?

Normally I would say winter, but this year we were sick Non stop all spring. But still winter in New England. It's tough.

I should add, that I also tend to sway more toward depression in the winter. Part of the reason why I tolerate the heat is because I feel my happiest with lots of sunshine. I'm constantly making sure all my rooms are filled with natural light. I need it!

Summer for sure. It was 120ish here a couple weeks ago and all my DS wanted to do was go play outside.
