Summer is upon us and it's time to take the ultimate mom break. How? By sending your kids to camp. Preferably sleep away camp. I can't think of a better way to push the escape button on momming. We're talking up to 7 weeks without kids!!!

In this episode I discuss my personal experience deciding to send my kids to sleep away camp. I address the mom guilt that many feel and recommend a book that helped me a lot: Homesick and Happy By: Michael Thompson, PhD

To help even more with the mom guilt relating to outsourcing some momming, we discuss Chapter 15 of "Hunt, Gather, Parent" by Michaeleen Doucleff PhD to review how throughout history humans have turned to others to help raise their kids. This is not a one mom job. It takes a village. If you don't have a village to help you, camp is a great substitute.

Finally, I announce a summer reading assignment: Patriarchy Stress Disorder by Valerie Rein, PhD

I will be taking a break from the BMB podcast for July & August but will return in September when we will talk about Patriarchy Stress Disorder and how, as written on the cover, it is "the invisible barrier to women's happiness and fulfillment."

Have a relaxing summer everyone! See you in September!
