[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of you didn’t even bother to read the OP, so typical. Her kids are TWEENS. They don’t want to be “out of the house by 7:30” or have scheduled weekly “outings” with mom. Let them sleep within reason. Give them a few daily chores, a daily reading requirement, and a screen time limit. Encourage them to have friends over and/or take them to meet friends at the pool. This is not rocket science. Some of you sound literally insane. [/quote]

I'm the PP with the loose schedule that includes a Friday outing. My kid is a tween. She sleeps later in the summer, has friends over regularly, and doesn't need a reading requirement or a screen time limit because she'd rather read than watch screens anyway. She loves Friday outings with mom (and sometimes dad) and sometimes a friend tags along. We like having a schedule to give the week shape and ensure we always have something to look forward to.

Not all tweens are the same, and maybe not everyone has to do things your way. Just a thought.[/quote]
