[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Decline the birthday parties unless they’re really close friends. Take the summers off- no sports - mom needs a summer “break” too. Use the tennis money to take a family vacation or hire a sitter for some regular recharge time. I’m a sahm with 3 kids ages 5 and under and I’m regularly shocked by how overscheduled other sahms are. The whole reason I’m not working right now is to *simplify* the schedule and *enjoy* the younger years with the kids. Not race all over town to multiple activities/camps all day. At the expense of younger ones’ nap schedules. Not to mention the drain on finances while we’re on one income; stressful. No thanks. We hang out at the pool. Go to some indoor playgrounds when we feel like it. And take a couple beach vacations. Easy breezy free-range summer. [/quote] I could have written this post. [/quote]
