[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some parents want to pick their kids up from school/aftercare, drive them to a supervised activity, shove some food in the kid’s face at some point, bring them home bathe them and put them to bed.

Some parents…don’t want that.[/quote]

Sounds like you have little kids. Get back to us once you have more experience parenting.[/quote]

Nope. I have HS and college kids. But they didn’t have activities 5-7 days a week in elementary school or even middle school. And they certainly weren’t in multiple activities at the same time then. If they decided to try a new sport, they had to wait until their gymnastics sessions was over. And so on. [/quote]

Nice but the question is how to make it work. Your answer is you didn’t even try. Your kids were dabblers.[/quote]

Her kids were bums [/quote]

Or the mom was. My mom was like this, patted herself on the back that she only let her kids do 1 activity at a time. But that’s because she was lazy and wanted to sit around and watch tv and not take us anywhere. She hated to drive. Wouldn’t let us sign up for much, told us we wouldn’t like it anyway, and had no interest in letting us pursue our interests. It was all about her and what she wanted. And when I did do things and needed a ride home she made me beg other parents to give me a ride because she didn’t want to.  [/quote]
