[quote=Anonymous]Simplify and reduce the drudgery of parenting so you can enjoy it instead of grinning and bearing it. What this means for me: selecting only one camp so there’s only one enrollment, no activities on weekends, only extracurriculars that at offered at aftercare in school. Swim class is the only one I chose that’s not at school, but I found a club offering classes close by so I drive there after  school pick-up, it offers different levels so both kids can be in the pool at the same time, I shower them and put them in pajamas there after class so home is just dinner, books and bed. At school, I volunteer only for the things I’m willing and excited to do and is a valuable use of my time. Gifts are orchids from the supermarket because im already there. A big help was paying for lunch and snacks at school so i don’t pack lunches. If im a mom that has time to do me, im also more present for them and enjoy them much more rather than resenting these tasks that really don’t matter to them - they want a happy parent.[/quote]
