[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m medium high on the intensity spectrum. I read a lot of parenting books. We definitely eat dinner together as a family nearly every night at 6pm. Very healthy food and they eat what we eat. We plan something “enriching” every weekend like a kids museum, hike, canoeing, fair, parade in addition to the regular playgrounds and the library story time. We read for at least 30 minutes a night with our kids. We ask comprehension questions and we question them on whether they know certain words (larla- what’s a cupboard?). We take them on lots of weekend trips, an international trip, domestic trip and a week at Disney every year. They all clean up the playroom and do age appropriate chores.

That being said, we have tons of adult time. We have a babysitter for 7:30 every Friday nighttime after the kids are asleep (so we don’t miss time with them). I go out to happy hour or book club or dinner with friends one night a week (usually after bed). Dh has a lot of things he does too. No deprivation here. We have extremely short commutes so that’s where we gain time. And we haven’t watched tv in years because we have no time.

Oh and I wanted to say because dcum hates this and calls me a bad parent- we go away for 9 days a year kid free. My parents watch our kids. [/quote]
