Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Speaking of sleep away camp. My DD just got back after her first time, and said never again. She liked the camp but hated be away from home. D0 i make her go next year?

[ Reply | More ]Obv don't know you or your dd, but this seems silly reasoning to me. By that argument, a dc cannot be strong or independent w/o summer camp? My dc hated summer camp so the next year we worked on finding a camp that was a better fit, and one year we did no camp. Camp should be fun, not torture.

I can't imagine why it could be good to force a young child to be away from home for long periods of time. And I am not at all anti sleep away camp. I went starting at 8 years old, but I WANTED to go. My 8 year old dd has told me that she never wants to go. Fine. And if she changes her mind, that's fine too. But why force it? What's wrong with day camp?
