Childproof your summer! 6 tips to rekindle romance: Đừng để bọn trẻ quấy rầy hai bạn! 6 mẹo lấy lại sự lãng mạn của tình nhân
From sex therapist Ian Kerner: I don’t know if other parents feel this way, but during summer it’s “a long day's journey into night” -- especially when the kids are (wake) up at crack of dawn and it doesn’t start to get dark until 9 p.m. Even with my sons at day camp, they are still home often and constantly moaning, “I’m bored.” Jeez, what am I, the entertainment director? (đặc biệt khi bọn trẻ thức dậy lúc tờ mờ sáng và trời còn sáng đến tận 9 giờ tối)
Idioms: at the crack of dawn (and at the break of dawn): at the earliest light of the day. Jane was always awake at the crack of dawn. The birds start singing at the break of dawn.
very early in the morning: We had an early flight so we were up at the crack of dawn.
very early in the morning: We had an eight o'clock flight so we were up at the crack of dawn.
My relationship with my wife is the part of my life that bears the brunt of all this. Longer days mean shorter nights; that translates to less downtime, less intimacy and darn it, less sex!
Sợi dây tình cảm với bà xã là một phần của cuộc đời tôi mà đó là nguồn động lực chính cho mọi hành động. Những ngày dài đồng nghĩa với việc đêm ngắn, cũng có nghĩa là thời gian nghỉ ngơi ít đi, làm tình ít đi và
Make sure the kids are playing hard. Work those little buggers: swimming, soccer, baseball, pile it on. The harder they play the more easily they will go to sleep, which will give you more time for intimacy. Get in the habit of putting them to bed earlier, not later, and make sure that you have blinds or curtains that can block the light. Many parents make the mistake of waiting until it's dark to put the kids to bed during the summer. This practice leaves you exhausted with little time for your partner, and also deprives your kids of some much-needed rest.

Here are some ideas I came up with to “childproof” the summer and keep some romance sizzling:
Đây là một số ý tưởng mà tôi cố nghĩ ra để làm sao không để bọn trẻ quấy rầy trong mùa nghỉ hè và giữ khí thế lãng mạn hừng hực:
Idioms:
come up with: produce (something), especially when pressured (áp lực) or challenged (thách thức)
v. phr. 1. To offer. We can always depend on John Smith to come up with a good solution for any problem we might have. 2. To produce on demand. I won't be able to buy this car, because I cannot come up with the down payment you require. 3. To find.How on earth did you come up with such a brilliant idea?
French: soulever une idée
sizzle:
(v)
- (of food) make a hissing (huýt sáo, rít lên, sôi lên, xèo xèo) sound when frying or roasting - to make the sound of food frying in hot oil - tạo ra âm thanh của thức ăn chiên/ráng trong dầu nóng
- (informal) be very hot
- (informal) be very exciting or passionate, especially sexually
(n) an instance of the sound of sizzling
(sizzling: adj) (sizzler: n)
Make sure the kids are playing hard. Work those little buggers: swimming, soccer, baseball, pile it on. The harder they play the more easily they will go to sleep, which will give you more time for intimacy. Get in the habit of putting them to bed earlier, not later, and make sure that you have blinds or curtains that can block the light.

This practice leaves you exhausted with little time for your partner, and also deprives your kids of some much-needed rest.
Make sure the kids are playing hard: Đảm bảo cho lũ trẻ chơi mệt nghỉ (chơi không biết chán, chơi đến ngán ngẩm, chơi chăm chỉ).
