[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you have a baby but are worried a lot about how it will be during the school-age years. I think you should focus on your current situation and not hypothetical school plays in the future. Also, 10 doctor’s appointments in a year is a lot and doesn’t make sense outside of the baby years (even then it sounds too high). Plus there are things like pediatric urgent care with hours that don’t interfere with an average work day. I have 3 kids and there are rarely school events during the day (and many parents don’t go to them because they work). When your child is older, you can choose whether to have them do activities or not, and what kind based on your schedule.

This just sounds like you’re finding something to worry about. [/quote]

I have 3 kids - i was able to stick with my “rules” through the first 2 because they were little with no daytime events and I could work like crazy during work hours and still spend several hours a day with them . Now the oldest hit K this year so lots of school events plus needed a million appointments for a neuropsych eval (which resulted in a whole lot of no issues but was a tremendous time and mental energy suck) and my system for it fell apart to personally cover all daytime events and mornings and evenings and still do good work[/quote]
