[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yall are nuts and glad I moved out of this area.  Activities every day of the week is insane.[/quote]

I grew up having activities every day of the week and lived in New England and New York. It's not the area, it's the family lifestyle. [/quote]

It’s weird [/quote]

It was actually totally normal in both areas where I grew up. I also thought everyone went to camp for eight weeks each summer. I was in 9th grade before I made friends with someone who'd just hung out at home all summer. [/quote]

There have always been activities and camps, but I don't believe that kids were always this busy. What's wrong with being home in the summer? I had my neighborhood friends til the begging of high school. No, we weren't swamped with activities, but that didn't mean we sat around doing nothing. Free time I'm some people's minds always equates lazy or trouble and I just don't get that.[/quote]

Dunno what to tell you. I was born in ‘76 and everyone I knew went to camp all summer. [/quote]

You don't need to. I was responding to a comment that made it sound like an unstructured summer/ childhood was a negative experience for everyone. Yes, I know that there were kid activities back when we were kids. My friends and I participated in some, but at least in out circle, we were less busy. [/quote]
