Joy, are you in my head?? Or my Substack drafts?! Just last night, I scribbled down some VERY similar thoughts on this whole "90s summer" thing that's seemingly everywhere right now.
I'm trying to strike a balance over here, but lord knows that as a house with two WFH parents, we need those camps to save our collective sanity. I seem to birth active kids, so I'm not even sure they're capable of "rotting" for an entire summer. 😂
It's definitely in the zeitgeist right now!! I'm interested to hear your thoughts on 90s summers if/when you share them! My husband is currently WFH and I'm home on Mondays and Fridays, but I feel like working at home while your kid is there (even if they're behaving OK) can be so brutal. Even if my kid is just watching TV, my brain is fragmented, always thinking a little bit about her/aware of her while I work. SO thankful for summer camps--and that I live in an area where they aren't hard to find or get into. Stories about summer camp lotteries give me nightmares lol.
1000% Even with 9 and 11-year-olds, the interruptions when they are home are REAL. And not for nothing, I would have loved day camps as a kid. Sitting around for an entire summer is not all its cracked up to be! (Though maybe I would appreciate it more now as an adult ha!)
