[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I feel like all I do is make food all day-breakfast, pack lunches, first dinners, second dinners and drive people places.[/quote]

wtf are you cooking two dinners?[/quote]

DP here. You’ve never served 4:30 dinner and 9pm dinner? No athletes?[/quote]

“Family Dinner Above All Else” Pp is from another time. Kids both play sports competitively because they love it. They are good, but not amazing and doubt they will play in college. That said, practices are late afternoon or evening so, like OP, I too spend a lot of time in the car and putting first and second dinner on the table (or wrapping it up to eat in the car).

Op—I’ve gotten into a good rhythm where at one kids practices I walk with a couple moms. At another, I listen to podcasts or books and knit/cross stitch in the car. Sometimes I run errands so I don’t have to do as much of that on the weekends. I fully feel the overstimulated yet lonely/bored, but I know this is a phase that I will miss when they are in college (oldest is already there). Also—I have some of the best conversations with my kids in the car riding to/from activities and that honestly is worth it’s weight in gold. [/quote]
