What do you do when the kids are away at camp?

I wish I had the money to send my children to camp. We save our money (what little we have) for a “family” vacation instead.

Miss them. We look forward to it, but it seems like around the time I get back from dropping them off…I already miss them.

Sure, we do things, but we think the house is far too quiet.

this isn’t a euphemism for dropping the kids off at the pool, is it?

@evelyns_pet_zebra I don’t think so! Heh! That one always makes me laugh. I don’t know why, but it does. :)

I would celebrate the silence, but think of them fondly. And I missed them so much that I forgot any negative feelings I might have for some of their behaviors that were amplified due to the stress of daily living.

I always did volunteer work at the camp to get a discount, because I couldn’t afford it otherwise.

Miss them.

We are a family and we hang out together. I think the fact that this is such a “foreign” concept to a lot of people speaks volumes about what is wrong with America.

They are not a “pain in the ass” and they are not a “test”. They are your kids. If that is still too hard for you to understand, maybe you should have kept your legs shut.

I clean, try to catch up on the laundry, send care packages, and check the camp website daily for pictures.

I enjoy the peace and quiet, but at the same time I miss them.

The dogs miss them, too, even though they don’t have to share the couch while the kids are gone.

Glad I didn’t have kids, seems I missed out on a lot, and not all of it wonderful.

@jonsblond and @Blondesjon i love you two. it’s so comforting to know that there are people like you out there.
GO FAMILY!

That became known as Naked Week.
