Let me tell you, I never really understood the hype about summer camp until I experienced it myself. In just two weeks, I’m going to load my three little ones onto the bus, and I’ll be a bundle of emotions—sadness, anxiety, and maybe a hint of fear as I let them go. I see other parents feeling the same way, some looking a bit misty-eyed while others can’t hide their smiles. It’s tough to bid farewell for three weeks, and I feel like a part of me is missing. But then, I remember—my husband and I will have the house to ourselves for three whole weeks! And trust me, that’s a game-changer.

Here’s what happens when the kids are away:

1. A Neat Home: No more socks in odd corners or forgotten cups of half-drunk juice. It’s blissfully tidy!
2. Private Time: You can enjoy a romantic evening with the bedroom door wide open—at any hour you please.
3. Grocery Store Freedom: Forget about buying snacks and ingredients; your trips are now mainly to the liquor store.
4. Dining Out: Explore all those trendy restaurants you’ve been curious about, without worrying about a curfew.
5. Chill Nights In: Not in the mood for a fancy dinner? Toast and a movie of your choosing? Yes, please!
6. Decluttering: Toss out the old stuff without any little ones crying over their “treasures.” That rock from the beach? Bye-bye!
7. Flexible Work Hours: No more rushing home when the school bell rings—you can finish up work at your own pace.
8. Exercise Anytime: With no kids around, you can finally hit those evening yoga classes or go for a morning jog.
9. Sleep In: No more early morning wake-up calls—enjoy a little extra rest!
10. Dinner Freedom: You can cook what you want without negotiating with picky eaters.
11. Spontaneous Getaways: Want to travel with your spouse or friends? Just grab your bags and head out—no packing lists needed.
12. Reliving Your Youth: It feels like being carefree and young again, but this time you appreciate it so much more.
13. Hangover Bliss: If you indulge, it’s easier to recover without a 7 a.m. hockey practice looming over you.
14. Intimate Freedom: No kids to invade your space unless you want it that way!
15. Movie Nights: Go catch a film at night and pick whatever snacks you like—no kid-approved options necessary.
16. Bittersweet Moments: You might find yourself lingering at their bedroom doors, feeling a little wistful. Sure, it’s quieter around the house, but there’s still a bit of sadness in their absence.
