[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oldest is starting K next year. When do you find time to… hang out? Play/relax as a family?

Spending the entire day apart then rushing to do everything from 4-7:30/8:00 sounds horrible!

No judgment, but a real question! Is there no family time when kids head to elementary?[/quote]

The family time becomes more about quality than quantity :)

I also had the no screen during the week rule when my kids were in ES and I miss it! Definitely do that. So much harder with teens. Weekends are chock full of family time and weeknights we have dinner together every night unless we can't. One parent walks the dog with one kid and one parent washes the dishes with the other. So they're definitely a lot of kid-parent relationships, not necessarily "everyone all together at once" which is ok! Like a pp said; this is a part of them growing up and developing separately from you. [/quote]

You say that like it’s normal, when in other countries they spend a lot of time together as a family. And they’re much better off for it.

Of course kids should have their own thing. But these rushed days with little to no family time that isn’t also spent completing tasks around the house or driving?

The American way of life is so sad sometimes.

Just like we all brush off active shooter drills. “It’s just a part of life. Get used to it.”

Just sad.[/quote]
