I know I know its early... but looking outside and seeing the first
snowfall of the winter had me in chills. So I decided to think of warmer times
and naturally my mind went to summer camp. I went years ago, my kids go now and
they rave about the amazing times they had.
I was looking for a site online to find some information on summer
camp (my youngest wants to go and it will be his first year) and I found a
great site where I could speak with the parents of last years campers and also
with the directors and staff. The site seems pretty new but it already had
every camp my kids have gone to, so that was pretty good to see.
Anyway, if winter weather has got you down, definitely check it out
if you have kids that go anyway :) it's at www.campography.com
Stay warm everyone!
PS. This is the time of year that Camps offer great discounts if your enroll now. Just make sure to ask about it!

Hi, I am new here and thought I would try my hand at getting advice from veteran step-parents. I have a smart 8 yr old step-son, whom is starting to show his rebel side. He has started to hide his homework from me, and talks back all the time. He has split time with his Father and myself and his Mom. We alternate weeks that we have him since we live in the same town. From what I understand from a mutual friend between the families, his Mother does all of my step-sons homework for him and I make him do it himself unless there is a question. I sit with him, but he wants me to write his vocabulary words for him like his Mom does, and when I don't he gets upset and starts crying, stating I am mean and that I dont care. And since I involved his father in talking to him about an adult doing his homework he has taken up leaving homework at school or on the bus so he does not have to do it. The other children are held to the exact same standards in the home, and I dont do any of the other childrens homework. I am so lost about what to do, I know he smart enough to do these things on his own with minamal guidance. Please if anyone can give a lil advice about my Son I would really appreciate the help!!!
