[quote=Anonymous]My kids are teens, so I recognize that day camp costs may have changed. But we usually splurged on 1-2 weeks of a $500-600 camp, and kept the rest under $400. But the bigger issue is that you are making unilateral decisions about how to spend the family’s money and time, and your DH isn’t on the same page. It doesn’t matter what any of us spend, what matters is coming up with a budget that compromises between your priorities and your DH’s. I obviously don’t really know why you are so focused on camps over vacation, but I’m guessing it’s some combination of 1) mommy martyr syndrome feeling like it’s better to spend money on your kids directly than on something you’ll also benefit from, or 2) camp feeling like an abstract cost because you have to commit several months ahead of time, vs vacation where you have large expenses in the moment, you’re more likely to balk at the last minute.
