[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put them in camp near where you live now. Hire a sitter to stay at your house and care for them while you are home. If you want a camp during the day and evenings I’m not sure why you’re even taking them with you. [/quote]

In my regular life, kid is in day camp during breaks. He needs the activity and socialization, and I can't provide that myself. I want the same on vacation. I still want him with me though. When I say evening option, I am talking about being able to go out for dinner sans kid one night, not all the nights.[/quote]

In 14 years of parenting 2 kids, I’ve never sent them anywhere on vacation and we still enjoyed our vacations and had nice times. But I also was/am a SAHM and didn’t sent them places on every school break either. I think you have an unrealistic view of parenting. [/quote]

This might have been what you thought was best, but probably wasn’t actually best for your kids or your marriage.  Kids want and need to play with other kids.  They don’t want to hang with mommy and daddy 24-7.  You also need time alone with your spouse.  The moms who stay at home and have no life or privacy from their kids need to really reconsider what they are doing to their kids.  I had a mom like this so I know. [/quote]

Right and it’s so different now from when I was a kid with a SAHM. Back then, I was with neighborhood kids all day long and on vacation with stranger kids from the room/cabin next door. These new mommy martyrs don’t let their kids out of their sight except for scheduled play dates/paid activities. It’s not the same and you’re harming your children![/quote]
