[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To sum up this thread so far, the wealthy SAHPs love summer. Sounds about right. [/quote]

LOL you beat me to it, that was my takeaway from this thread as well.  $$$ for vacations and pool memberships, no need to coordinate schedules for kids across various camps with different start/end times located across town from each other.  Must be nice!  [/quote]

Yeah, no.  We're comfortable but not wealthy.  The vacations I mentioned in my post are to a small beach and then to DH's hometown in upstate NY - hardly weeks in Europe.  Our kids go to KAH camps, all based at the same location.  We deliberately chose not fancy, affordable camps because (1) that's what we could afford and (2) it minimizes our family's stress.  The pool membership is a splurge, but it's also our primary form of social interaction for the summer.  I work hard as a volunteer at the swim meets, while DH wrangles the kids.

If you choose to send different kids to different camps and schlep all over town, that's on you.  It doesn't have to be as complicated as many parents make it.
