[quote=Anonymous]Up your cleaning services so you aren't doing bathroom/kitchen cleaning on weekends. Teach the 12yo to do laundry and have one night per week that they are responsible for getting their laundry done (whatever night that kid is not in sport/activity). Apprentice the 7yo into laundry so that they do laundry under supervision on another weekenight. Set up carpooling with other families in the sport or activities. See if you can't figure out a way to cut down the amount of running around that costs you. Ditto on your school drop-offs -- is there a family nearby ALSO doing two schools? Can you streamline so you swap kids and one family takes the ES kids and one family takes the MS kids? I'd also try to flex things so you all eat dinner together. That might mean that Sport Kid gets a heavy snack and then leftovers, but the rest of the family sits down to dinner together. School lunch (or at the least, teach 12 yo to make their own lunch).[/quote]
