[quote=Anonymous]What activities are you cutting? For a 5 and 8 year old whatever they are doing can't be that expensive (besides summer camps). Rec soccer? Dance class? After school clubs? They are a few hundred bucks. Why do you need to change that? For summer plans you will need to figure something our even if it's not their usual $500/week prefered camp. But at 5 and 8 you have options. It's not like they're missing out on specialized sports training or sleepaway robotics camp. Find cheaper options. Loom at half day camps and church run camps. Look for a high school part time babysitter. Fly in a relative to stay with you for a month. Then whatever you figure out you just tell your kids this is what we're doing this summer. Phrase it as a positive and dont mention what youre not doing. This is overly dramatic and odd... if not a troll.[/quote]
