[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH sounds very clueless, maybe on purpose. Of course you need summer childcare, you cannot leave them home unattended all day. Maybe he is thinking you should quit your job.

You can definitely do just one camp all summer if you find one you like, though.[/quote]

If they have multiple kids, they can probably hire a summer nanny for the price of camps. 
Maybe that’s what he wants to do?  [/quote]

Good luck with that. I have hired summer nannies and they are a PITA. I paid $22 an hour (this was a couple of years ago), but they spent most of their days on their phones, didn't take the kids anywhere and complained nonstop about the salary. The last one got to the point where I just ended it early so I didn't have to hear her complain about her low pay any more. She was 18 and my dds are very easy/fun. Funny thing was that one of them came back the next summer begging for a job because she couldn't get anything above $15 an hour as a camp counselor. I think they just had unrealistic expectations.
