Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp．There, husbands and children are not allowed．Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone．

At Mother's Camp a woman has room for herself．She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her．No children will ask, "Morn, what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks．" In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home．Many of them work full - time and then come home to a second job—taking care of their homes and families．These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework．

In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework．Many of their husbands say they want to help．But then they burn the rice or they can't find the pans．They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves．

Some women go to Mother's Camp just to get a break from housework．For two days they don't cook, they don't clean, they don t look after their children and husbands．What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and singing songs around the campfire．They relax away from home．They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother's Camp．

Jessie felt her life so boring one summer day. She was tired of watching TV, she read all her books, and her friends were on vacation. She wanted something different to do. Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower(割草機) sitting in the yard.
“Mom,” she shouted, “I think I will mow the lawn.” Her mom ran into the yard and said, “Oh no, you don’t. You’re too young to mow the law.”
“I’m fourteen years old and know how to do it,” Jessie said. “Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won’t have to worry about it over the weekend.”
Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try. After all, she was home and would keep an eye on her. Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower from watching her dad. Jessie checked the gas(汽油) to make sure it was full, and put on her gardening gloves to protect her hands. Mom watched from the kitchen window. Jessie really does know how to mow the lawn. She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, “You sure did a great job. Dad will be very surprised.”
Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessie’s mom, “You didn’t have to mow the lawn. I was going to do it on Saturday. It looks great. Thanks.”
“I didn’t mow it. Jessie did.”
“Wow, our little girl is growing up!” Dad told Jessie what a great job she had done.
“It was fun, and I will do it again next week,” said Jessie.
The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money. “Sure!” said Jessie. Jessie began mowing his lawn. Two other neighbors asked so, then another three. Jessie was now mowing lawns for them all and making some money. She was no longer bored! “I won’t have time to spend my money,” she laughed to herself.
