[quote=Anonymous]They aren't demanding during the school hours. I doubt anyone said that.

For us, it was more the after school activities. From about 3:00 to 8:30 every night, I am just a full on chauffeur picking up and dropping off (but we have 5 kids between 11 and 18). The evenings and weekends are hectic with school stuff, sports, social lives, activities, and just teen drama.

During the day, I do all the housework, shopping, and errands. I take kids to appointments as needed - doctors, dentists, eye appointments, specialists, etc. I cook meals and have dinner ready to go in the oven or on the stove before 3:00 so that whoever is home at dinner time can just follow instructions and get dinner ready.

I volunteer about 10 hours a week and also help out with aging parents and their needs. The last year we have been reno'ing the house so I am always letting someone in or responding to questions or going to pick up something.

I find I am pretty busy. Most days are full and I prefer it that way. It frees up the weekends and evenings so we aren't cramming that stuff in amongst all the family stuff.
