[quote=Anonymous]I was very protective of our weekends. Kids definitely couldn't have friends over all the time. Sure, it's OK once in a while, but I didn't want to be driving every Saturday. I also don't think it's necessary to do all the activities (hikes, zoo, etc.), unless you prefer them over your own hobbies. Parents have lives too and I think that's important to model. Kids are plenty busy and have lots of other opportunities for socializing. Also, the kids can help with the cleaning and laundry. You should be able to get a lot done in an hour on Saturday with everyone helping. If you are insistent on accommodating all the different ways of eating, I'd simplify that even more. I'd make one veggie dish and then have precooked meat (you can batch cook on the weekends) to add to it. The children can help prepare dinner too, or you can just buy more ready made things.[/quote]
