[quote=Anonymous]My mom SAH until I was 10. Summer was a mix of running around with neighborhood kids, exploring the woods, going for bike rides, going to the pool, the library, and also lots of TV. We took cheap beach and camping vacations with other families and I spent a lot of time at friends' houses, usually playing unsupervised outside or in someone's unfinished basement. My mom went back to work when I was 10 and we moved to a new neighborhood where my house had a pool, and from then on we had a mix of babysitters and day camps/sports camps/overnight camps in the summer, but it was still pretty unstructured. I loved it. I still miss it! My kids have two WOH parents and I worry that they don't get that lazy, unstructured summer time that was so awesome to me when I was young.[/quote]
