All summer, we're talking about how to deal with teenagers. As camp time approaches, the question turns to: What about the parents? What do they do when kids are away at camp?
If you've ever been a parent of teenagers, you know what I'm talking about. They rule the home in many ways, and when they are gone, the home seems empty. So....with that in mind, we have come up with a list.
Here are the things you can do while your teens are at camp:
1. Clean your closets (you know it)
2. While you're at it, clean out your kitchen drawers.
3. Now, fun stuff. Go on a trip yourself.
4. Pick up the guitar and teach yourself a tune (or any instrument)
5. Read that novel you've been saving for a long time.
6. Read the newspaper (leisurely)
7. Go for a walk in your neighborhooe.
8. Read your Bible. It won't hurt to pray for your teen while they're gone.
9. Try a new hairstyle or outfit.
10. Go FISHING! Why not!
If you have exhausted your options, you don't have enough of them. Make a second list of ten and send them to us at Summer with Teenagers.
