[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really irks me when people brag about not having too many activities or not over scheduling as if you can just magically control how an activity evolves.

My kids are each in ONE activity (a sport) but as they get in high school, the number of commitments for that one activity have just exploded. Practices every single day after school. Games several days a week (including weekends). Tournaments (usually out of town requiring hotels, super expensive and sometimes kids even have to miss some school). It never ends.

Mine don’t do an instrument or robotics or volunteer or have a job (I wish). They can’t. These club and school sports want more more more more time and money. My kids love their sports, their teams and playing. One is at an elite level and the other is just ok at their respective sports. But the amount of time is almost the same.

There is no fun for parents. I am so exhausted. And broke. [/quote]

What sport is the elite level kid in? Unless they are going to be on TV playing their sport, you are spending too much time on it if you are exhausted and broke.[/quote]
