[quote=Anonymous]It's unclear how old your kids are. I'd give different answers if your kids are 5 and 7 vs. 8 and 10. 11 hours is a VERY long day for a 5 year old. What do your kids do in aftercare? Some aftercare programs include activities similar to recess, so the kids do get physical activity. Some aftercare programs offer organized sports like soccer or basketball. If your kids play soccer twice a week after school, then there's no need to have them play on the weekend too. If they are just sitting at their desks doing homework and/or arts and crafts and/or watching movies, then they do. What does your H do at the playground? Does he sit on a bench and read his text messages while the kids play by themselves or is he interacting with them? And what do your kids want? I wouldn't let a 5 year old decide, but I'd let a 10 year old. [/quote]
