camping in your living room

Benefits of camping in your living room:

No tent to set up and take down.

No crying kids in the next tent over.

You don't have to make sure to feed your pets before you leave and when you get back or arranging for someone to do it for you.

When your one year old decides he would rather play than lay down with you, even when it's two hours past his regular bedtime, you can put him in his bed so he can fall asleep practically instantly.

The floor isn't as cold and lumpy as the ground.

You can use the restroom without having to unzip the tent, clamber out, and get your shoes on.

You can get changed into your pajamas in your own bedrooms instead of taking turns in a cold, dark, cramped tent.

You can brush your teeth at a real sink instead of a water jug spigot.

When your ten year old keeps wanting to play, you can threaten to send him to his bed if he doesn't lay down.
