Tell me about it.  With all the homework, school projects, recitals, hobbies, school events, and extracurricular activities it makes me miss the early childhood years.  Parents of younger children count your blessings.   [/quote]

See, I don't get this. My kids did 1 thing a season. That's it. They went to aftercare otherwise.

As a nurse, I got off right around 3 and was usually home around 4ish (unpaid charting, sigh and errands). I usually was around for homework and then they basically played outside with friends or each other until dinner.

A couple of times a week, I'd do the sports practice. DH handled weekends and games.

I don't get the parents of older kids complaining. My kids were AWFUL sleepers. I was sleep deprived for years. That stuff isn't something to tut tut. If anything, I found having older kids fairly easy.

High school was more complicated, but it was usually because of the normal social stuff and making sure they were on track academically.

They are in college now and I actually miss how must hustle and bustle there was around here. It's so quiet. [/quote]

Yes thanks for this

Look folks life is about choices

It's a choice to have kids

It's a choice to helicopter about kids

It's a choice to pick a job/career/location where working after working hours is the norm

These are all choices.  If you can't handle your current life situation put on your big girl pants and make some choices.  Hint YOU CANT HAVE IT ALL lolz[/quote]
