[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this town, yes you are probably the minority. But honestly thats probably a good thing.  [b]Kids are way over scheduled now compared to when we were kids. [/b]Its funny because I grew up with a stay at home mom and she complained if ever had more than two evening activities a week!  Quite frankly, spending time together as a family, eating dinner, kids learning to either play together or self entertain will probably serve them better later in life than violin, piano, soccer, t ball, etc....[/quote]

Yeah, I don't know about that. I was so overscheduled that I actually had to leave one activity early one day a week (sports practice) to attend another (orchestra practice). And I had sports or music every day of the week, except for the occasional Sunday off. Then again, I was the one pushing the sport, rather than my parents.

I also had plenty of time for friends and family. I think having so many activities just made me better at getting done what needed to get done, which is a great skill to have going into college and the workforce.[/quote]
