[quote=Anonymous] Kids are 13 and 15.  And once high school started for the older one and MS for Kid 2, I had to readjust my expectations.  One is in marching band and winter drum line and competes every other weekend. The other one debates and ends up competing the week my marcher doesn't. Plus other activities. And group projects. Etc.

Summers we do a fair amount  of Wolftrap lawn seat or spending time outdoors type things. But school year?  We all need the downtime more than the doing stuff time.

So, now I find a 3-4 hour block of time each month with nothing scheduled, and everyone must show up, and must be nice about it.  I take requests and suggestions for activities. . And if I don't get them, I choose, and we... go see something at the Kennedy Center, go to the HIVE at the Building Museum, go for a longer, but fun dinner.  Go to Top Golf.

More than once a month? Never gonna happen. It only happens as often as it does because it has dawned on me. That I only have three years left with both kids at home.  [/quote]
