[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer 1980 called and said it's not making a comeback.

Look OP time moves on and things change. Not everything is going to be exactly the same as when you were a kid.

So now kids go to camp and aftershool activites. Are you going to just whine about your kid having no one to play with or anything to do or are you going to fix it?

And on the parties, sorry, but as a WOHM I wouldn't help you either. Why should I? You are at home all day and have a 10 yr old. I think planning a get together shouldn't tax your time.  (but I would contribute monetarily or food wise)[/quote]

Ok I am a SAHM, have been for the past 13+ years and I agree 100% with this person. Except I probably would have said Summer of 1975 called  instead of 1980. Our neighborhood has had spurts, sometimes there are kids around,sometimes not,  they move, others move in, things just don't stay the same. Our kids have had times when they were out playing with other kids, then the kids get older, interests change and yeah it is not the same as it was for me. My parents never arranged play dates, we just went outside. I had to arrange play dates. Does that mean my kids are not having fun or won't have any good memories? I didn't go to camp, my kids have gone to all sorts of day camps, been on summer swim teams and dive teams and connected with kids that they only see during the Summer. When I was a kid, we hung out at the beach. Just because it is different doesn't mean they won't enjoy childhood.

I agree about the parties too. I would be glad to get the donation if I took this on, and that is a big if.   No kid is going to grow up and cry about the fact that they never had a neighborhood party. [/quote]
