[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. And by the way, you don't sound very rational to say "why don't jewish parents want to spend time with their kids?"  do you realize what a ridiculous, dramatic, overgeneralization that is?  (are you also somehow unaware of the stereotypes of jewish mothers and their bonds with their kids?!?!)[/quote]

If you send your kids away, you are not bonding with them. Sorry[/quote]

IMO, being a good parent is letting a child have independence and new experiences/adventures when you feel it is the appropriate age for them (similar to going away to college when they graduate high school.) You cannot judge another parent's decision when to send THEIR child to sleep away camp because everyone's individual circumstances are unique, and each child is different. It is "natural, normal, healthy" to let your child go to seep away camp for part/all of the summer. Sleep away camp is something to look forward to, not a punishment... Camping, friendships, swimming, nature, art, music, and SO much more. Visiting day is when you can "bond," along with the other 10+ months of the year. [/quote]
