[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind with 3 it wont get easier. By the time the baby is 6 you are managing 2 then 3 sets of activities. Hopefully you already thought about that.[/quote]

Oh get bent. I have three and my youngest is about to be six

It's so much easier now than when I had a crazy preschooler a stubborn toddler and a fussy baby who would only sleep on my chest.

And you know what- it's really ok to limit their activities. Your kid is t going to get a Division I soccer scholarship anyway so let them do one thing a week each  and keep it moving

Even with 1 activity each you are looking at 3 to 9 things a week. Doesn't leave much time for anything else unless you are a SAHM.[/quote]

I work FT. DS has martial arts (brown belt) twice a week, DD has gymnastics once a week and the youngest has soccer class once a week.

That's what I mean by limiting. We dont do a soccer team for DC b.c if you've ever seen a game of six year olds all they do is surround the ball. The class is teaching him skills and when he understands enough to actually pass and play strategy then he can join a team.

Basically club soccer now is what travel teams used to be when my brother did them. He can run around our yard the other two days a week instead of pointless drills that suck the joy out of the game.

And DD isnt going to go to the Olympics so once a week is fine. She doesn't want to compete.

Executive summary: dont go psycho with over scheduling your kids and you can make it work. [/quote]
