[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not exactly sure what you mean by supplement, but here is what we do for a family with 3 elementary aged kids (5, 7, 10)

2. Each of our children takes music lessons, language lessons and a sport/physical activity. All three children take Spanish lessons, 2 take piano lessons, 1 takes violin lessons, they play tennis, basketball, and swimming. Our oldest recently started weekly chess sessions with my FIL.

Do you and your husband each get to do weekly music lessons, language lessons, and sports/physical activities, or equivalents? Do you have any time for your own activities? I can't see how, with 3 kids x 3 activities each week. Or do you have a nanny or car pools that take the kids to some of these?

I'm all for exposing kids to a variety of content and skills - we do lots of library trips, reading, musems, etc. - but think it's important for kids to see that parents have their own activities and interests, too. And kids need ample time to learn to amuse themselves.[/quote]
