[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how old are the kids?  why do they need two hours (one parent each) of parent-supervised homework?

aftercare

fewer activities (can't be out every night)[/quote]

Well that time is not all homework, it’s also just spending time with the kids as well we are all doing some chores (going through field trip forms or putting events on the calendar.

Kids are already in aftercare over an hour, and they don’t get homework done b/c the study space is disruptive.

Fewer activities? One rec sport and one music lesson each? We already feel like failing parents who don’t have their kids do anything. They never have play dates b/c they all seem to happen after school with the SAHM set adhoc coordinating.

Is that the real secret? FT working parents work, pick up kids when after care closes, and literally that’s it for every day of the week?

For us the issue is there is no buffer, so if something hiccups it’s a domino for work and home life, and we want more downtime at home for our kids — hence an afternoon sitter would be great. [/quote]
