[quote=Anonymous]Ignore the "but what will your kids dooooo" posters, OP.  What do(es) YOUR kid(s) want to do?  What do you and your spouse/partner want to do?  How do you want your family life structured?  That will look different with, say, preschoolers vs. teens, of course, but you have input into these things.

We have three kids, 10, 8, and 6.  What has worked well during the school year is mostly weekend activities with predictable schedules, e.g., martial arts, swimming, Scouts, and one or two weekday activities.  Our DD has done Girls on the Run before school, which is great.  The boys have done programs at school, after school, also great.  If our kids expressed real interest in all the team sports, we'd absolutely try those out, but they haven't, so we don't push it.  I was an athlete for years (HS, college, after), and there are plenty of ways to get into that, if and when the time comes.

Summer is all about the pool, swim team, etc., so that looks different, but it's time-limited and we all love the change in pace.[/quote]
