[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For most of history kids have done hard labor since the age of around six. These lazy summer days you talk about were possible only the past 50 years or so, and only among well-to-do families. Everyone else was working. Summer camp is not a soulless prison. [/quote] Bullshit. My parents were lower middle class (and that's being generous) and very blue collar (like, rough neck blue-collar). We had glorious summers at home with friends, neighbors, babysitters, and grandparents (which, I recognize since we lack it here, not everyone has the latter). Camp is not a prison, you're right. But, if you're describing your kid as a nightmare, then it's probably not the best fit for him/her at that time.[/quote] You were better off than you thought. I worked from age 11 on. [/quote]
