I would like to have strong words with whoever schedules kids sports early on weekends.

We do sports and multiple music programs. Its not worth it to you, it has nothing to do with the kids.

Huh? Most old people I know stay up very late. Surely 40-50 year olds can stay up until midnight?

Nope. Not wired to stay up late, and never have been. Midnight is the beginning of my second REM cycle. I’m lucky if I make it to 10:30. Either you’re a night owl or you’re not. I’m not.

I absolutely love the early weekend game time slot. Get up, go to the game, frees up the rest of the day.

Hard same. We are now in the 2-5pm game phase for both kids and I hate it.

At least the early game starts on time.

I hated showing up for a 2pm baseball game and the previous game had 3 or 4 innings left because they had started late.

Add in rain delays and we were lucky to be home by 6pm.

I think it depends how early is early. 9 a.m.? Sure, great that does free up the rest of the day. My kid's current game schedule is 6 a.m. or 7 a.m. Saturday mornings. It's way too early, and I've already said this will be the last season. And I'm a morning person! Count me in as another old person who can't stay up past 9:30, 10 at the latest.

Why is everyone ignoring this correct answer and instead fighting about children becoming pro athletes?
