[quote=Anonymous]OP, not a popular opinion, but I would say do what you can RIGHT NOW. Live in the moment. Maybe in the future you'll have a situation in which your kids will be able to participate in a variety of things that you just don't have the bandwidth for right this minute. Swimming is great. it's important for safety reasons. Talk honestly with your kids about the facts. Do not shame yourself for what you cannot do. Stretching yourself too thin doesn't make any sense. Try to be sure your kids get regular exercise in the ways you can handle. Pick-up sports, learning to ride a bike, walking places together, etc. Can you allow your kids to do physically active stuff on your own property? Trampoline, bike, indoor swing, etc.... There's plenty to do! Have fun and enjoy your kids childhood!!! Be honest and let them vent their feelings about your limitations! Enjoying the time you have together is way more important than keeping up when you just can't do something. [/quote]
