Between all the unpacking and some work our new house needs, I've signed my 7 and 9 year olds up for various camps most of July and into early August. My younger one who is 4 will do morning preschool camp. I felt like the combo of not knowing anyone, and getting unpacked, it would be hard to all be together 24/7. But now I'm feeling guilty! I stay home and I feel like I could be taking them to explore all the great sights and cool places nearby. Of course we will have a good 3-4 weeks together before school begins after camp is over. I just feel like my kids will be bored at home and end up begging for TV time.....
Most camps I signed them up for are local rec ones, nothing super fancy. If they don't love the, they can just go for a few hours since they aren't super $$.
please tell me I'm not a horrible mom for not wanting to spend every waking moment with them.[/quote
Not to judge, but any good mother would take an opportunity to take the opportunity of the luxury of staying home at spend time with her kids.
Lots of moms dream about it...
