[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like to hear the responses of people who didn’t have a sahm or a mother who was a teacher with summers off. Thanks![/quote]

No SAH or teacher parents, but we did have a nanny (glorified babysitter; she was only 11 years older than me, smoked cigarettes, and moonlighted as a strip club waitress). During the summers we hung out at the house or the mall, spent many days at the pool, ran errands with her, played outside or hung out with friends...normal kid stuff. My more troublesome sibling got shipped off to camp every summer for a month. Sometimes we went on vacations and/or trips to Florida to see the grandparents. We lived on a golf course and for several years I had a thriving business peddling 25-cent lemonade and all the used golf balls I'd hunt down in the woods and clean up and sell back to the golfers for 10 cents or 50 cents, depending on brand. I was also a voracious reader, so plenty of trips to the library and time spent reading and writing what would today be called fan fiction (ha!).[/quote]
