[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time believing that my two kids will require $3000+ in expenses when they are older.  [/quote]

You are right in not believing that. They will require a lot more than 3K! That is my summer camp budget for one of my kids - and it is not a lavish one![/quote]

That is your fault.  Summer camp is a luxury.  You are paying people to watch your kids all summer instead of taking care of them yourself. [/quote]

You are an asshole. Should children of working parents be stuck at home doing nothing all summer? That is a recipe for disaster. A sitter is as expensive as camp. Except for teachers, I don't know any parents who have the same amount of time off as their kids over the summer.

Camp may be considered a luxury but did you know how important summertime enrichment is to retaining learning, even if unrelated? One of the prime reasons that poorer children fall behind is the summertime regression from lack of activity. [/quote]

Seriously.  The PP who is seeking out fun, enriching summer camps for her kids is taking care of them.

It never fails to amaze me how far some people reach to create a WOHM vs. SAHM debate where there was none.[/quote]
