[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's way too long. It's not that they wouldn't survive or couldn't be physically safe, but I have two boys too (older) and these are ages where they need to be busy and occupied. It is just asking for trouble to have them alone and bored for that long.  They are prime ages to start exploring internet porn and other unsavory online things, and I think if you leave them with no structure for 3 hours/day you are likely to regret what happens. If it were just a week here or there, maybe, but this is not a solid summer plan.[/quote]

Good points. they are pretty busy in the morning with swim and dive practice and that goes on for 6-7 weeks. My younger one is a kid who loved vegs out and watching TV while the older one needs to be on the go.

We will take a 2 week family vacation and there will be some shorter weeks with holidays thrown in there.

We'll definitely have a sitter this summer and consider what to do next year when kids are 14 and 11
