[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the 'let your kids stay home' people actually have teens? 
I don't fully schedule my child's whole summer but she would be more than content to sit at home literally all day and watch tv and play video games and talk to friends on her phone. Occasionally she'd go with a friend to the pool or the beach. I want her to have a more enriching summer than that.[/quote]

Yes. If I left my twin 13y old home alone from 7am to 5:30pm (the hours I am out of the house for work) 5 days/week x 10 weeks they would play 500 hours of PS4 (not counting the weekend.) They have swim team practice M-Th at our local pool from 6p-8p so they aren't interested in spending all day at the pool with their friends. I don't want a hoard of 13y boys in my house every day all day (nor do their friends parents), we don't live in close proximity to public transportation, and I don't need them loitering at Target/McDonalds all day. Therefore I have to find something for them to do that they enjoy, that I can afford, and won't allow them to play 500 hrs of Overwatch. It's a challenge. [/quote]
