It is more stressfull because everyone is going in different directions. During the rest of the year you can count on a schedule. If may be busy, but thing usually don't pop up at the last minute.
More relaxing but that is because my husband and I are both educators and have the summer off together to spend time with the children.

Summer is more relaxing for us. We're still quite busy with all of our activities but have more flexibility with scheduling. Not having the nightly homework ritual helps a lot. We can be a little less structured and a little more spontaneous with dinner, bed time, and fun stuff.
Definitely more relaxing! We eat dinner a little later, my son stays up later (and then sleeps later!), we have more time for things like evening trips to the park, playing in his backyard clubhouse and visitng the library.

But I can see how it might be more stressful for some! My son is in daycamp a few days a week which gives me some time to get work and errands done. If he was home all the time, it would be tough.
