[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH does not get home until 9 pm most nights.  I get home around 6 pm (picking up the kids from aftercare right around that time).  I really want my kids to get more involved in extracurricular activities, but it is so tough with this schedule.  I commute from DC and cannot get off any earlier so that is not an option.  If others of you are getting home this late, how are you managing sports and other extracurricular activities?  Where we are, most practices have already started by the time I pick my kids up!  The only thing that has been flexible so far are community center lessons (e.g., karate, dance) and swim because they tend to start later.

Just curious about what others are doing to manage all this extracurricular stuff! [/quote]

I don't. My children haven't reached their teens, so this will likely change once they are able to handle their own transport. For now, they have a tutor who comes twice a week and every other Saturday. He'll do all sorts of things with them if homework isn't a priority that week. We have workout regimes at home, dvds, boxing equipment, yoga mats. I tried the team based stuff, it wasn't a good fit and took way, way too much effort. Same with Judo. And, swimming. We may have to make room for dance classes since both children share an interest, but that will have to be a weekend activity.[/quote]
