    There are 2 months in Summer vacation. OK, but in the U.S. we generally consider summer vacation to be 3 months.

    My parents are very strict with me on Math. OK



    Thank you.

    (1) I most respectfully suggest something like:

    (a) Summer vacation is two months long.

    (b) We have a two-month summer vacation.

    ***

    (c) My parents are very strict with me regarding my progress in math.

    (d) My parents are very strict with me when it comes to math.

    (e) My parents are very strict with me about math.

    (f) My parents are very strict with me regarding my math scores.
