[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There is a group of people like OP (they start a thread like this seemingly once a week) who seem to have made their personality: I let my kids be bored.[/b]  This group refuses to accept that kids who do a sport (maybe even 2) and play an instrument, for example, can possibly have time to entertain themselves at home or play unstructured with friends.  But upper elementary school kids and middle school kids don't have much homework and they don't go to bed at like 7:00 anymore...there is plenty of time.  They also refuse to hear that these activities have well-researched benefit.  (Instead it's all just for college admissions  :roll: .)

What's going on is that these folks are low energy or very busy at work or have other demands on their time and just don't want to drive their kids around or have any kid-related commitments on the weekends.  They've convinced themselves that happy kids with well-balanced schedules are overscheduled.

YES! This is what I see too. Some weird brag that they are too lazy to take their kids to things.[/quote]
