[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Use all day camps. That’s what many of us do (and yes, it’s a large expense). Or one of you can quit your job.

If you’re working, you should have your young kids in child care. And $18 is a steal per hour for a summer babysitter.

Stop being cheap and lazy. [/quote]

Stop being a jerk. A lot of camps are 9:00-4:00. Some have aftercare but personally my kids hate staying that long. 
The options are split up the drop off and pick up with your spouse or another family, take leave frequently, or get a summer sitter. [/quote]

I’m not being a jerk but clearly I struck a nerve. Many of us are in this same summer camp position.

OP needs to use one of the many suggestions already offered. Since folks are having processing issues, I’ll summarize them here:

-Rotate pickup and drop off (if you’re in a two parent household)
-Research other camps 
-Hire a sitter
-Use leave 
-Carpool with other families

And sorry, but if your kids “hate staying there long,” that’s something for you to troubleshoot. Plenty of parents have kids in before and after care for the school year too.

Many parents do not have the option of just picking up our kids whenever we want. We have to work around the confines of our work schedules.
