[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your best money spent will be on one parent staying home FT until school starts.[/quote]

The parent should be home when their child gets home from school.  I guess you could over-schedule the child and have them do sports, etc. every single afternoon.  But then you are ceding the parenting to others - the neighbor who drives them to their next activity, the school after care program coordinator, etc.  And since you are barely there in your child's life, why do you think that he or she will confide in you when you are around?  My sister, the SAHM, has twice been the first to learn of her dd's friends' sexual activity - before their own parents.  Why?  Because she is the one who is there for them to confide in.

By the time kids get to high school sports are every single afternoon.  If they are going to do a school based team sport that is the drill.  I don't consider that ceding parenting.
