[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't they just go off and play?   I do not understand this.  We have kids at the pool, playground, biking, playing in cup-de-sacs and just wandering.  Only the parents that work or don't want their kids bothering them, ship them off to scheduled daycare (aka camp)

Having downtime to find your passions, socially work with kids without structure, use your imagination, etc... is a good thing.  [/quote]

Where is this magical place you speak of?  My neighborhood has lots of school aged kids, but it's a ghost town in the summer.  Everyone is either at camp or traveling somewhere.[/quote]

Not the PP but we used to live in one of those neighborhoods.  We moved.  Find an area where people mow their own lawn and has their own pool/school that is walkable.  A realtor once told me that when I asked for an actual neighborhood with a community feel.  Families that mow their own lawn and take care of their own homes are more likely to live a normal middle class life.  Their kids are not usually entitled to around the clock entertainment, sports, and camps.  [/quote]
