[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are not at this age yet, but I have to say that I absolutely do not understand this area’s obsession with camps. I grew up UMC in another part of the country and it was very common for parents to hire a high schooler or college student for a few months as a nanny. I assume that there’s a structural reason that people here don’t do this (teenagers aren’t interested or something), but to answer your main question - your kids will be more than fine if you go this route. Step away from the rat race if it doesn’t suit you.[/quote] Most kids are in camps so there is no one for them to hang out with. Would the twins stay in day care?[/quote] I don’t understand why it’s a big deal it they don’t have someone to play with 24/7. They can play with their siblings. They can entertain themselves. They can have playdates on weekends. They can do activities (swimming, sports, dance) that are a few times a week and get to see friends that way. I grew up this way and it was awesome.[/quote]
