When we became adults my parents admitted to my DB & I that sending us to
sleep-away camp was a vacation for them. All those years, we thought it was
a luxury for us. But, we, along with several other kids of close family
friends, all went away to NC in the summer - 4-8 weeks (usually 8). The
parents would all come up together for Parent's day (now a weekend) - and I
think they had a blast. When we were young, the campers had to stay at camp
overnight - though in more recent years, as a weekend, the kids can stay out
overnight as well, I think. In retrospect - I certainly understand it.
Especially as my DB has been sending his kids to camp for years -
neighboring to the one we used to go to (and owned by that camp's former
partners). The folks had time to do as they pleased at home, and they, with
their friends, made a mini-vacation of parent's weekend - coming up earlier
and staying an extra day or so.

When DD is gone in a week for a week, it will be quieter, but not much. When
DS would go away, it was pure heaven!

I find when he's gone, even to work for a few hours, I really miss him. But
I can live with out the food pickiness (which is getting better). When DD is
gone, it's like a hole in my life.
Should have gotten a picture of her and Bobbie's grand kids today.

When A was younger, I felt the same way. Your dd is still a bit
young, but believe me, around 13-14, she will do things that make you
glad she is gone for a few hours as well. Email me off list if you
want to know my po'd name for my dd . . .
And ds is actually turning back into a human being!
