[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in my case I have 3 kids. Each kids is not overscheduled, they do 1-2 activities each but that’s about 5-6 activities I am driving them to. I am overscheduled, but each kid is not. They are of an age where I don’t have to take all of them with me all the time so they stay home and play with each other, do homework, whatever. But they aren’t available to run around the neighborhood or have playdates with other kids if I can’t be home or I can’t pick them up later due to a conflict. I don’t see any kids running around anyway in our neighborhood.  It’s the parents stretched thin in cases like mine.[/quote]

In this case, I have my kids do the same sport/class at the same time (even if different levels). I am not willing to have every minute of every day centered around my kids. I need my own time/hobby.[/quote]

Cool. But my youngest likes to swim and my middle likes to dance. They can’t be forced to do each others activities. And at different ages and levels they wouldn’t be at the same time anyway. We all make our own choices. I have plenty of time during the day to do what I want.[/quote]
