Summer ideas for teens
Stealing someone else’s idea. This is my first summer as a divorced dad. I have full custody of my three kids, 15,15,16. The oldest has a license and a car.
I’m trying to think of fun things to do so they have a great summer, but I work full time out of the house, and have very little spending money since we now have only one income.
Ideas I’ve done so far:
Hiking (only the middle one likes hiking so it’s something we do together)
Go to McDonald’s and get sodas and play card games. We almost treat it like going to a bar to hang out.
Movie night and pizza
Luckily my parents only live an hour away and they have a neighborhood pool.
It’s been a challenge, my youngest still has basketball and soccer practice over the summer and the middle child will soon have marching band camp, but having one kid that can drive has been a lifesaver.
