[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is saying to not do any activities. This is about a child having an activity each day or multiple activities each day or have multiple games on Saturday for the same sport but different teams.. and that kid missing one game to make another.. that is a problem even if you all face to recognize it.

Also, is there no kid who wants to come home after a long day at school and just decompress and chill.. [/quote]

I posted previously about being this type of family. OP has one kid. I have three kids. I definitely say that I’m busy shuffling kids around. I don’t necessarily think any of my kids are over scheduled. They are definitely busy but they have plenty of downtime.

Yes, my kids have conflicts. Games, tournaments, rescheduled games, playoffs, parties, etc. are not a set time every week. We have to pick and yes, the rec game will probably be the one we don’t go to. There are some commitments we make for the full year. When you get a rec team, you get assigned a practice the week prior and match schedule. We will go but sometimes can’t make it. Sometimes we miss practice because I have to take my daughter to a dance recital and older brother has a match or game and we can’t take Larlo to basketball practice that night.

I am sure Op and her one child will think we are over scheduled. It is a hectic life and we love it. I know it isn’t for everyone. Just as OP may look at us and not approve, we wouldn’t want her life either.

I also don’t work. There is no way I could work and take one kid to dance and cheer, another kid to basketball, then soccer for another. It would be too much after a long day of work.[/quote]
