Sleepaway Camp So Young?

ETA: oops, one girl is 7 3/4, not 8 yet... I have an opinion which will be clear but I'm honestly curious if I'm wrong... A few people I know are sending their kids to sleepaway camp starting at ages 8 and 9. One girl is 9 and going to sleepaway camp for seven weeks. Her mom stays home, she's an only child and they have plenty of money. I know this bc I work with the father and he makes same ballpark as I do and it's plenty to support a family of 3 very comfortably.

College Savings 101

As my girls get older, I can't help but worry about college expenses for 2 girls. What are your plans for college financing? How many kids do you have? Are you putting $ away monthly?

How Do I Accept That My 18 Yo Daughter Is Dating a 30 Yo Man?

My 18 yo daughter is a freshman in college across state. A 30 yo man that we only knew of as her friend took her away for an off-the-grid, no cell service camping trip her first weekend in college He lives in our hometown so It was quite opportunistic of him to drive 7 hours to whisk her away from her first college weekend. Since then they are together forever. While my daughter seems happy, he has done nothing to demonstrate to us that he respects her or our values. As they are both adults it’s reasonable that they are sexual. But I’m...
