[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you OP. So hard for kids to have spontaneous play dates on weekends bc kids as young as 5 are so over scheduled! Like hello please stop freaking out about your kids resume and start letting them have a childhood[/quote] 5 yr olds aren’t over scheduled their parents just don’t want to deal with you.[/quote] +1. A 5 year old doesn’t need a spontaneous play date. They don’t need to be in an activity either. Weekends are for quiet relaxation. I turn things down because I just want to be with my own family.[/quote] Hilarious... quiet relaxation with 5 and 3 year old boys. Not happening unless they're on screens for hours which is way worse than playing Tball outside or whatever else [/quote] A shame that you don't know how to have fun and relax with your boys! This time is fleeting. Enjoy it! And of course, don't put them on screens!!![/quote] You have different types of children than I do if your young boys are spending weekends [b]quietly[/b] relaxing. I don't know anyone with young children who would say that except ones on screens constantly. I do know some with girls who like to do crafts etc for long periods of time. My boys are not like that. No one said anything about not having fun with them- 'quietly relaxing' and having fun together are not mutually exclusive are they?[/quote] I thought the same thing. There is no ‘quiet relaxion’ at home with young kids - more like chaos and destruction. They have physical exertion, competition, and friends through sports. The alternative is not sitting home quietly reading stories at midday. I would lose my mind to hanging out and home or even sitting at the park every free moment. [/quote]
