[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - yes I do understand that introvert does not always equal low energy. But in general having kids means you have to interact with a lot more people than if you didn’t have kids.

At a minimum you are interacting with their teachers, parents of their friends and probably coaches or something of that sort. Add in more activities and more friends it’s more people you have to interact with. Times the number of kids you have.  [/quote]

I think you're doing it wrong. I'm barely interacting with teachers or coaches or counselors. Parents of their friends? Mostly by text. We drop our kids off at the door and they run in to their activities. We don't do much hand-holding - maybe for the very first class of the season or if it's a new place or something. A wave and "thank you!" is all I've said to many of their coaches. [/quote]

I struggle with my health so therefor low energy but that's pathetic that you don't ever talk to teachers or coaches.  That's not low energy, that's lazy checked out parenting.[/quote]

Woah, judgy Nellie. Not the PP you were tearing apart, but it depends on the activity. Parents are not required to chat with an instructor at Dynamite Gym, for instance, who changes every cycle, and only sees your kid for 45 minutes a week in a group setting. But a private instrumental music teacher who gets to know your kid a lot more and whom you pay for years for one-on-one lessons? Yes, you have to interact and attend recitals.
