[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in late elementary school and middle school.  Sleep-away camps are starting to be cancelled this week.  Girls scouts just cancelled the entire camp summer.  My daughter's Vermont sleep-away camp just canceled the summer.  Pools are also announcing that they won't open. 
My kid are old enough to stay at home when I work but what the heck are they going to do home alone for 14 weeks?  What about families with young kids?  I suppose it will be a terrific time to be a college babysitter.

And be read through these replies and I see a list of lovely activities for stay a home parents, albeit a heavier lift than normal. And I see the full time parents getting suggestions to go part time or take off. My workplace isn’t one where you stroll in and say - hey, I’m going part time till September.

Camps, whether we like it or not, are part of child care. Like it or not, there are families with 2 parents working full time. (This doesn’t mean they are pulling in enough to hire a nanny).[/quote]
