[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I had a big argument because he feels like we spend way too much time at home on weekends and should be out more being active. We have 2 girls, ages 4 and 7, and they are not very sporty, so they prefer to stay home and do art projects, play dolls, bake, etc. On weekends they would probably never leave the house if we didn’t force them to.

We are definitely outdoors much more in the spring/summer/fall, going to the playground every weekend, swimming, bike riding, scootering, etc. The kids don’t like being outside in the cold and complain after 30 seconds and don’t stop.

Currently the girls both do a gymnastics class on Saturdays and go to Sunday school on Sunday mornings, so we are really just talking about afternoons.

What do other people’s weekend schedules look like with their kids. Do you force them outside when they just want to stay in and play ?[/quote]

If your husband wants to do things as a family like go on a hike, visit a museum or explore a new city, then he should be able to voice that.  It can’t always be about what your girls want do to, even if they enjoy being at home.  Families are about give and take.  That doesn’t mean they need to enroll in more activities/classes.  [/quote]
