You sound selfish. Some kids thrive with activities and being busy.

Kids thrive when they have time to spend with their families.

Well RTO certainly isn’t helping with that either.

Sure it is. Everyone I know who works in person comes home from work, makes dinner and eats it with their family. Just like many generations before us. What has changed is wealthy families overscheduling their kids in the hope it will get them into better colleges. No wonder so many of them are anxious/depressed.

Its not overscheduling to have yoru kids in activities and its not just wealthy. There is financial help. Many families like us make it work. My parents were like you and very selfish. Everything revolved around them and their interests, not ours. I will not do that to my kids. It was boring and lonely. They didn't spend time with us. We ate dinner together but that was it. Then we all went to our seperate rooms.

So wanting to eat dinner every night with my kids is selfish? Wanting to hear about their day and talking to them is selfish? That’s really messed up in a big way.

Right?! And yet they wonder why birth rates are declining.

we had this my old job. We let them make up the time on Sunday. No remote.

That’s really sad for you. This Administration has made clear that telework will be provided (not maxi-flex, not 4-10, not with a make up day)—yes, telework on days when an employee desires to engage in a time-specific prayer.

Well I commute 1 hr each way, work 9-5, and sign my kids up for the town bus to tennis/chess game and I come home to eat dinner with my kids. Granted the DH cooks.

So I don’t understand how my mom who didn’t have a job, didn’t commute, can’t bother to pick me up once a week from school for extracurricular.

Yes that’s me too. I really wanted to join swim team or dance team but my parents didn’t want to lift a finger to pick me up from school. My kids can stay home all they want, but they choose to do their hobbies twice a week, which is no where near ”over scheduling”.

My mom never put me in rec sports or activities and always acted like it was such a burden to pick me up from activities and sports once I got to middle and high school. She rarely came to my sports events. I grew up in a small town/city with no traffic and she had a ten minute commute. My high school was half way between her job and our house. She was just selfish.

When I went to college on full scholarship, I took some hobbies / sports classes and she wanted me to quit, because they “cost money”. I was like that’s fellow tax payer money not your money.

When I graduated she lamented that I don’t play piano. I was like ??? You can’t even afford a single key, why is this a question?

The new policy is more relaxed, supervisors aren't allowed to make you work a different schedule. WH wants prayers done at home during telework.
