Boarding school

Aibu to consider boarding for dd when she hits y7?
Is it fun like a sleepover all the time?
Its mixed day and boarding.
Part of the reason is that I seem very lazy (mixture of medical issues) and although I do try to be active, I have long periods where I need to sleep.
I don't want her thinking this is all normal, I want her to be with people who fill their day doing things. From my short experience of boarding school this is what happens - lots to do, I guess to stave off boredom.
Life is full of great things to do, but she sees her mum barely doing any of them.
Boarding will also help with making female friendships work, which is something I have always struggled with too.

I think it should be up to her. I know plenty of children who have gone to boarding school, sine love it and Some hate it. Maybe partial boarding would be an option if that’s possible. As long as she knows she can change her mind as well.

I loved boarding school but knew people who really didn't.
