[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost all of us with multiple kids are having similar problems.  or each kid, the schedule is not excessive but you put three or more together and it's practically undoable.  [/quote]

YES, this! For my kids, my rule has always been, one physical activity or sport, and one arts-related activity. When they were younger, it meant 3 kids x 2 = 6 activities. Mostly local, lots of overlap.

Now they're older, activities are more specialized and intense. So my son's 2-hour / week commitment with everything in the neighborhood has turned into a 6+ hour/week commitment with much more driving. Same for my daughter's dance and the other's acting. And of course nothing is quite near enough to anything else, or otherwise the schedules conflict. I didn't let my son do NCSL (he's doing SAM league, which is less crazy and no tournaments,) my daughter wasn't allowed to do the dance team, just the classes -- but it's still just crazy logistics. Sometimes I find carpools but sometimes I don't. Love my kids and they have my full support, but I wish it weren't a hassle and there were better solutions out there. [/quote]
