[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] I have 3 kids. My oldest were 2 years apart. We were a no screen time/very limited screen time house. The boys played plenty at age 3 and 5 but there was nothing relaxing back then. Boys were really active. I am a sahm and the only time it is relaxing is when someone else is watching the kids. There is no relaxing WITH the kids.[/quote]
