[quote=Anonymous]We could never make it work when the kids were young, as DH and I both had inflexible schedules in the office. We considered switching to a summer nanny, but weren't sure if the kids would really enjoy that, and they LOVED their summer camps. So we stuck with camps + extended care.

My job became a lot more flexible when our youngest was 10, so we signed him up then. It was rough for the first couple of years, but we cobbled together a variety of late starts at work, babysitters, time with Grandma, and partial days home with an older sibling. Camps were still limited then (first year post-Covid), so childcare was going to be a cluster-f no matter what.

Over the next couple of years he gradually started spending more of the day unsupervised after practice. By the time he was 12 or 13, we just had him walk home from practice and spend the rest of the day at home (or, more common, roaming the neighborhood and hanging out at the pool with friends).  We were both at work by the time he finished practice. [/quote]
