[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working parents do this all the time without an issue, and for much younger kids.  It is fine.[/quote]

But kids with SAHP are less used to this. That would probably be too much for my 8 yo, and waaaaay to much for my 5 yo. My niece and nephew have done it since they were 2 though. But they had no other choice.[/quote]

SAHM here.  My kids go to day camp because it is FUN!  I understand some can't afford it, but I do not think all day camp is too much for kids that age all.  Myself, and a large number of SAHms I know do this.  Summer is at least 10 weeks, sending your child to camp for 5 of them is not a lot.  They will still have half the summer off!  Camp is not academic either, it is FUN!  [/quote]

My mother was a SAHM and I always went to summer camp as a kid, granted from 9-3 and not all day because my parents didn't need the childcare. I always hated it. It wasn't the hours, it was that I wasn't into sports and the camp wanted us to run around all day.

That said, aren't most kids that age in summer camp all day out of necessity? Everyone I work with has their kids in all-day camps for most of the summer because really, what's the alternative? [/quote]
