Seriously. These parents need to calm down. Yes, every parent worries when their child is out of sight. But at some point, you have to put your trust in the camp counselors and (ultimately) your kids.
They’ll get alone fine without you. And dare I say, they’d get along better if you’d stop interfering about every little thing.
This quote from a camp parent liaison blew me away:
“Nobody goes to school for how to send your child away from you…We help the parents become independent”
Are you freaking kidding me? As a parent, I completely understand missing your child, and wanting to keep them safe. But if you can’t handle your child growing up, then you are being a bad parent. What’s next? Are you going to quit your job and move with your kid when he/she goes to college? Are you going to do their laundry until they’re 40? Give me a break.
