[quote=Anonymous]Sorry to say but your child is over scheduled for a household where both parents work outside the home in demanding jobs. Life is about trade offs. Young kids in an activity that runs 3-4 hours twice a week almost certainly have a stay at home parent, a parent with a very flexible and not very demanding job, or hired help. Simple as that. You aren’t going to create more hours in a day. What happens if/when the two days becomes 5 or 6? Isn’t that what happens with those high commitment type of activities? Having a kid in one of those activities just isn’t compatible with your current lifestyle. I’m not sure why you even opened that door and signed your child up. They wouldn’t have known about it if you hadn’t introduced it. We parents have a lot of control over what our kids are exposed to. It’s on parents to be realistic about their schedules. We can’t have it all despite what we may have been told. You are going to make yourself crazy trying to measure up to people who have a parents those job it is to drive kids around.

P.S. no way this is swimming. It’s something like gymnastics or figure skating, or maybe a non sport thing. No one has little kids swim for 3-4 hours at a time. That would blow up their shoulders by 12.[/quote]
