[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So maybe Saturdays y'all switch of afternoon gym time and on Sundays one of you can do some shopping or chores while the other one does evening church. Or get a babysitter for church. [/quote]

I mean I'm just getting the sense that people on this board don't really go to church religiously. Which is ok, it is just answering the question of how everyone seems to have so much more time than me on the weekends. Church is at 11am. I can't change that time and create evening church? I've never gone to a church with an evening service; maybe that is just my denomination. I would never get a babysitter for church because the kids go to church and the older one goes to Sunday school. [/quote]

I mean I do not go to church but I grew up Catholic very involved and in Catholic school and going to church and I've never been to a church with just a single mass time so that is bizarre. And my grandmother went to evening mass on Wednesdays my entire life. I just looked up the mass schedule at my mom's church and there is mass at 7am/9am/11/am and 5pm on Sundays in addition to 5pm masses on Saturday and 7:30 and 9am masses M-F.

If I wanted to get my kids to mass on Sundays, I would try to get them to the earliest possible one so I could act like it was a normal day in terms of getting everyone up and at em and out the door.

But I mean, of course if you are devoting 25% of the weekend to religious activities that will eat up a substantial amount of time. For an 11am mass with sunday school for the oldest you are giving half of every Sunday minimum to Church. Which again, that is fine, but if you instead went to the 5pm Saturday and made a tradition of ordering pizza on Saturday nights afterwards than you would be giving 2 hours instead of a weekend morning which is prime time.
