Growing up I was ALWAYS the kid that had to call their mom in the middle of the night and have her pick me up. After awhile  I just stopped going to them because it was a given that I wouldn’t end up staying the night anyway. Was this the case for you growing up too? Or something similar?

Also I never had the ‘summer camp’ experience for obvious reasons but all of my siblings did. It’s not that my parents wouldn’t let me go it was the whole “I’m not going to be able to see my parents for a week or two” thing. And that was a terrifying prospect for me.
