[quote=Anonymous]This summer our child, 12, will do 4 weeks of sleepaway camp, 1 week of vacation, 2 weeks with family members, and we have 1 week where it is mostly errands , appointments, and sports practices before school starts. I think that may leave 1 or 2 weeks where it will be lounging at the nearby pool and having unstructured hangout time with friends. I will have chores and errands for my child to do and kids will be in and out of our house those weeks. I WFH and just expect that those weeks while she is at home may be less productive for me. If in DC, several of the privates have half-day options. Our friends in MoCo have their kids do half-day camps. Next year we will likely decrease time with family and focus on volunteering and more hanging out at the pool because grandparents are getting older, less mobile, and have less energy than they once had. Our child also wants to be with her friends more during the summer, which I totally understand. [/quote]
