How long will it take before I get the "I'm bored mom"? They're in summer programming and want to hang with their friends but I don't expect them to be entertained for long. They're too old to be seen with their parents so I can't help them either. Oh the sorrow of bieng a teen.

This is perhaps the time I think I will dread the most. Kids have such a short attention span and are so easily bored that it seems like they have to have a steady diet of varying activities. Well at least, we have some time before we get to that...:)

Are there still any schools that go year round? I thought a couple of years back there were afew in the west states but now it seems like thats not the case.

It will probably take a couple weeks before you start hearing about your teens boredom. I don't guess they like to read, do they? As a teen I always loved summer because I could read all afternoon sometimes.
