DH is a teacher, so once LO is in school, DH will be doing daddy day care for the summers part-time with some other activities thrown in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904575 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:16:35 +0000 plantains 904575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a teacher so hopefully he can do the SAHD thing at least part of the time and then camps for the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904488 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:53:49 +0000 runsyellowlites 904488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try not to kill them?..... lol</p> <p>We've been doing alot of the activities the library has, he's gone to one VBS (will go to another in a few weeks), and is currently at the 4 day camp our church kids go to annually.</p> <p>I'd like to make it to the beach, but we'll see if that actually happens... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904472 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:49:17 +0000 looch 904472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am already worried about this, and we still have at least 3 years before it is an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904453 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:45:50 +0000 T-Mom 904453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of DD's Montessori friends who have gone on to public are back for the summer so I may do that. There are lots of camp options that end early and some of them have an after care option. I'll have to see when the time comes... I will definitely have to go part time for the summer to account for all of this time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904392 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:36:13 +0000 regberadaisy 904392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And the annoying part is most of the day camps (from what I've seen) end around 2pm??? Who only works till 2pm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904389 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:35:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 904389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is sort of a mystery to me-- my mom was a SAHM so, obviously, we were home with her over the summer. We would do camps for a couple of weeks usually, depending on our interests, but they were never primarily child care, if that makes sense. </p> <p>DH's mom worked part time when he was school age and he says he went to a bunch of sports camps and has great memories of them. I don't know if they were full time or not though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904369 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:30:50 +0000 .twist. 904369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their mom doesn't work, but we also send them to camps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904366 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:29:47 +0000 BoogieBea 904366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing camps but he's at a weird age where hes not old enough for some of the fun camps. I work from home though so there's a bit of flexibility. I didn't realize how stressful summers are with kids in school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904254 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:10:53 +0000 DillonLion 904254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a variety of day camps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-school-aged-kids-over-the-summer#post-904252 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:10:15 +0000 regberadaisy 904252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you hire a summer nanny? Summer Day Camp? Do you have the summer off?</p> <p>I'm liking the idea of a mixed between nanny/day camp! </p>
