[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working parents do this all the time without an issue, and for much younger kids.  It is fine.[/quote]

But kids with SAHP are less used to this. That would probably be too much for my 8 yo, and waaaaay to much for my 5 yo. My niece and nephew have done it since they were 2 though. But they had no other choice.[/quote]

Kids with SAHP get underestimated by their parents. Many kids love all day camp, and many would choose it over being with their tyoe A sahm parents. [/quote]

Not necessarily.  Im a working mom and have an AuPair for my school aged children because they badically told me they were sick of the grind and wanted more downtime. We now do a blend of 2 weeks vacation, 5 weeks camp, and 4 weeks doentime at home. I only pick camps that are not daycare focused, but shortened days,  such as 9-3. On thr weeks at home, they do lots of pool time, going into the city, and early movies and sich.

Howevet, I do find that it is really hard to find neighborhood kids. Most are in camps no matter if they have a SAHP or working parents.  Out AP had to do a lot of work to keep them engaged, or else they will play video games all day or fight with each other constantly. [/quote]
