All school year my mom gushes about how she can't wait to host "Camp Grandma" at her house for a week or two over the summer. And every year when it comes time to set the weeks, she decides she's not physically capable of keeping up with 2 kids for a week.  Which is fine! But I hate that she lies to me, to my kids, and to herself for 10 months of the year and sets all of us up for disappointment.[/quote]

Haha - I had to tell my in-laws to quit talking about this crazy camp idea. They talked about it for years and said my two kids were too young. Then, they decided they would only offer this camp to my 9yo (at the time), not my 7yo. It’s just a fantasy. They saw some friends do it, but they could never fully wrap their heads around it. And the way they excluded my younger child in front of her… that was the last straw. They are 78 now… and the kids are 12 and almost 10. The ship has sailed and that’s ok.[/quote]
