[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - I work full time. I feel like a glorified maid, driver and chef for my kids. I just want them to figure it out themselves. [/quote] You want under-10 year olds to drive themselves to practice? Sounds like you have a crappy chore balance with your husband, but try to operate in the land of reality here.[/quote] Yeah, bananas. My kids (private) school does so many extracurriculars that are part of the after care program that we do not schlep them to activities. We live close to school and when they’re old enough they can easily walk/bike themselves to school. If driving kids is maddening to you (as it would be to me), winnow down the activities or find ones at school that don’t require extra driving. You cannot drop the rope but you can cut down the weight of what you’re doing.[/quote]
