What? No. DC need convincing. I am asking for advice from parents with difficult children.
Convincing to do what? You don't have to convince them to to go school. They just have to go. Same thing in summer. They have to go do whatever you decide they have to go do.
OP here. You don't ask them what camps or what interests? DC has no say then, right? At all?

We can't afford to have them sign up, then not attend. Their friends aren't around, for the most part. Ages are preteens. Any constructive suggestions? Anyone in the same boat? I know a lot of parents just sign their kids up for things, but without DH on board, it is nearly impossible. I feel overwhelmed.

If you are working and the kids and husband refuse to cooperate, where are the kids all day?
And I agree with the first PP. Why is this hard for you to do on your own?
