[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the PP.

The Nt kid will be more independent and handle car pools, coaches, drop offs just fine. We had a nanny or car pools doing this, but one of us would attend the weekend games, the other would stay with the hfa child.

Nothing in the post mentioned what you are disagreeing with. Obviously if their DD can get to and from activities with minimal impact on the parents go for it. The question was more about balancing the needs of her SN and NT children and I think she's leaning in the wrong direction if she and her husband are spending that much time doing things for her DD who as you noted is more independent and would probably be fine without that much attention.

My NTs kids are very active but we have a nanny who drives them so we can accompany our child with SN to activities. We do make our other children's games but there's no need for us to waste everyone's time at their practices when we could be doing something to help our other child. We are clearly lucky we have someone who can drive for us but if I had to choose I would drop our NT kids from one activity or more to make room for me to have some time on weekdays to do something outside the home with our child with SN.[/quote]
