What's something you do as a parent that nobody else seems to do as much?

Sure we have the random lake areas that are within an hour and they get filled up immediately and stay packed all day. And that’s only when it’s actually the season for it.

This is the equivalent to posting “I don’t under stand why I don’t see more families ice fishing on the weekends, We live in Alaska and do this constantly! Parenting hack!”

Sandy point is 30 minutes out

Yeah, no.

But we're in Potomac and always go on the Potomac to kayak. And we're pretty much screen free as the default

This. What is your plan if someone in your family has an emergency? This is incredibly stupid and you shouldn’t be giving parenting advice.

You couldn’t drive after one white claw? I’m not OP but this doesn’t seem crazy at all.

Ew. Sandy Point.

Sandy Point takes 51 mins from DC when looking at directions in the middle of the night. When I’ve actually driven there in the daytime it’s taken over an hour. The few times I’ve taken my kids it’s usually been filled with jelly fish.

It’s as normal as a beer at the football game. That ship has sailed.

Tell that to my son who developed psychosis from weed when he was a teen. Thankfully he is fine now but it shouldn’t be as normal as a beer.

I live in a city and don’t drive, ever. So if there were an emergency, I assume a taxi or the ambulance would be called.

I do see other families there, but we may go to a spot 3x a week and never see the same people. I have year round parking passes for nearby beaches/recreational areas so that gets us there more often.

I feel like it's such a parenting hack. Pack up a lunch, bring some chairs, sometimes bring our 5 person raft or paddle board, some tubes (we live in CA, though I did this as a kid in MN where lake life is big). Our spring break has been spent at a river 8 minutes from our home. I usually take a few puffs from my weed pen or drink a white claw when we get there to make it a little more fun (then by the time we leave several hours later it's worn off so no I'm not driving intoxicated).

I do have friends who like to go paddleboarding when my kids are away on the weekends, but none of my kids friends do this.

Here’s the engagement you were looking for, troll:

You are a shitty parent, wtf.

It is not. It is deviancy.

Blood draws. Dealing with days off from school. Seeing kid missing out on childhood joys. One of our kids has a chronic disease. I feel we spend our time in the lab.

Happy now, OP?

Why would this make OP happy? Because she’s stoned or drunk all the time?

I don’t sign my kids up for any activities on the weekends, keeping it all to after school and focusing only on the activities that they are really passionate about.

Poor parenting and preexisting mental health issues
