[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never done it and I never will. That's not how I parent.[/quote] Genuinely curious, with no snark, but what do you mean "it's not how you parent"? Isn't it just a summer activity for kids? Is there some greater significance that I'm missing such as overnight camp being associated with a particular parenting philosophy? I guess the short version of what I'm asking is - why not?[/quote] I think a certain bond is missing if a parent feels okay being without their kids for many weeks.[/quote] I find it healthy for a kid to slowly learn to be away from their parents instead of being dropped off at college one day having never been away for multiple weeks. It's responsible parenting and healthier. It also allows a well bonded parent learn to deal whit he absence.[/quote]
