[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rant.

I'm sick of going out with Mom friends who are complaining about how busy their kids are. GUESS WHAT? You can control that. And I'm annoyed about your kid having to leave games or missing games because they have another sport that they choose over my kid's team. Sucks to forfeit because half the team chose soccer over baseball. GUESS WHAT? You can control that too.

And whatever happened to being bored? Lazing around with a book? Playdates? Riding your bike around the neighborhood to see who is around? I can't even schedule a d@mn playdate because your kid has one of their 3 sports or private lessons for one of those 3 sports every waking moment of the weekend.

You're the freaking parent. Tell your kid they need to pick and can't do every sport and activity under the sun. PROBLEM SOLVED.

And didn't we all agree that the one part of COVID that we liked was the slower pace and more time with family? Why are we overcorrecting now?

Can't say this to their faces, so I'm saying it here.[/quote]

Totally with you OP. I have a friend who is constantly complaining about how much driving around she does for her three kids' sports, including soccer for a three year old who already goes to daycare. Wellllll, you signed up for it, and sports for a non-school aged kid are not necessary. [/quote]
