[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is totally great if parents want to do this. But, This is also a perfect example of optional intensive parenting that leads to the burnout we hear on these boards all the time. I’m sure a million folks will chime in about how thinking about this/doing this takes up almost no time. But then you do a hundred things like this a year and it adds up.

Again, people should do whatever they want. Just food for thought.[/quote]

I agree with you, but...who said otherwise? OP is asking what we do, and I answered (not much, but some little things), and others replied and say they do more. OK. Why do we need your "food for thought"? Presumably we all know our own limits and energy levels. This isn't an "I'm so overwhelmed" thread.[/quote]

NP I think the post was a helpful reminder that there is no need to be super “extra” about everything. First day of school is special enough without stuffing ice cream and donuts in the kid’s face. I have a Ker and clicked on this thread but decided I am going to keep it simple with a picture.[/quote]
