Wondering if others have chosen not to do paid activities with their toddler?

You use of the word "Fair" suggests that these classes the toddler is missing out by not having paid classes. This is not true. Can't OP be smarter and wiser the second go-round and realize that the classes, as she said, were for her and not her child?

OP here. Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful responses, I appreciate them! To clarify, as I said in my posting, I am talking about DD's *toddlerhood.* Of course when she gets to be preschool age we will do activities/classes, just as we did with our first, because then she will get more out of them. Definitely I am "older and wiser" as a PP said, and this time around I realize that the classes with our first were basically for me--which was fine, I needed them then--but I don't really need them now. So glad to hear of many others making the same judgment. Thanks again to all.
