[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people talk about "three nights a week" or whatever, what does that mean? After dinner?

My kids are both in afterschool/after care so at school until 5. My 4yo has never had a formal activity besides that but we just signed him up for a 45 minute soccer class on Saturdays, two blocks away. My 6yo does swim once a week as part of her afterschool. [b]We really love having our weekends without anything structured, so the soccer thing for this winter was done with mixed feelings. [/b][/quote]

I feel this way about evening stuff too. With a school pickup, a day care pick up, two working parents, and a kid-appropriate bedtime, it feels like a lot. My 8 year old apparently feels the same way because when we were listing winter activities he could sign up for, he wanted one that was only one day a week after school.

He'd totally rather be at home playing Legos on Saturday than play soccer but he would DEFINITELY rather play soccer than be dragged hiking or to church with his parents. So we have different opinions on weekend priorities. [/quote]
