[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? When mine were younger I felt this way but now (8 and 11) I love summer. Also, I think working parents love summer more than SAH parents.[/quote] Either way, someone else is raising their kids most of the day. They don't really care. [/quote] Exactly. What is the difference if you do t see them until 6pm each day? [/quote] Got it. So only people who can afford to have some one stay at home should have kids. All those people who need to have two working parents should just for go kids. I will make sure to pass that info on to my son. [/quote] Oh please. Camps cost hundreds a week and DCUMer's want to live in McMansions at minimum. It is a choice in this area for the most part and you know it. Most parents don't want to parent or take care of their home anymore and that is just the way it is. Nannies, babysitters, summer camps, landscapers, housecleaners, auto detail, dry cleaners, tutors, private lessons, dog walkers, etc... Outsource it all and keep working "because you have to." [/quote] Not all of us live in McMansions and pay for massively expensive camps or out source everything. I try not to generalize about SAHM because I know there are a variety of reasons for people to stay at home. I am glad for the folks who make that choice and enjoy their decision. More power to you. How about you stop judging me? There are a good number of working parents in this thread who have said they enjoy summer vacation for a variety of reasons. I know SAHMs that I know are sending their kids to camp because, well, camp is fun and the kids need more to do then hang out at home. And because the Moms don't want the responsibility for the kids for the entire day, it is too much. So the kids go to camp and Mom has the same free time that she does when her kids are at school. Are they some how awful people who want nothing to do with their children? [/quote]
