[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 3 kids in elementary and daycare (pre-k aged though). My DH and I both work out of the house five days a week. Neither of our jobs have much flexibility (WFH is not allowed). We also have a HHI of $175k, so we aren’t super wealthy.

I hate chaos so I don’t allow our family to exist in a manner of disarray.

I also have no guilt in turning down birthday party invitations. A close friend, yes, we attend. A random whole class party. No. Not worth it.

The kids do one activity a season. Right now we are doing basketball. Or I find a class that has a 4-7 age range and enroll two of the kids.

We don’t get home until 6:20 so our nights may feel rushed to some, but we eat dinner the kids play and then off to bed by 7:30/8.

[b]We prioritize our family over the kids’ social calendar. [/b]

I get amused when people say this when their kids are elementary/daycare - I mean, of course you do.  But things will change when your kids are in middle/teen ages and you have to have some flexibility and allow more independent choices for socialization.[/quote]
