[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re a loon OP[/quote] For not wanting DD to lose friends by talking about things she shouldn't? Mmmkay. [/quote] She’s not going to lose friends if she said she went to camp or on a trip or to a water park. All kids have different summers. Your kid probably won’t see most of her classmates this summer since they’re in “daycare” and yours isn’t. By the time school starts it won’t matter what your kid did all summer. One thing that’s annoying is you’re not acknowledging that those kids will also have cool experiences of their own this summer. They’re not the same ones as your kids’ but they’ll be special anyway. They’ll have fun outings with their daycare/camp. They’ll have pizza and movie night with their family. They’ll have cousin sleepovers or neighborhood hangouts and bike rides and makeovers and any manner of small thing that makes childhood summer so fun that has nothing to do with how much money your parents threw at you. They’re not beleaguered little Dickensian orphans- you’re pitying them when you have no reason to. [/quote]
