[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overscheduling threads are wild. I'm participating in one on the sports forum. Alot of ppl don't acknowledge it as a real thing [/quote]

I think almost everyone agrees that overscheduling is by definition bad.  However, the threshold for overscheduling is highly subjective. The folks on the sports board trying to impose their definition of overscheduling on every family are quite comical. [/quote]

They're a different breed for sure.[/quote]

They seem to be a breed who would definitely define OP as overscheduled.

Meanwhile I have 3 kids each on a schedule similar to the one OP describes (camp is irregular in the summer, but otherwise 1 sport + 1 instrument is normal, plus occasional other things and a religious activity), and I consider us perfectly reasonable. I also consider smaller families who do much more per kid reasonable because their kids seem happy and relaxed and so do the parents. I also consider friends who do less reasonable because it works for them.[/quote]
