[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One suggestion I have is to coordinate camps and activities with the friends your kids want to hangout with over the summer.  We coordinated most of our camps and it cut the drop off/pickup in half.  Obviously we couldn't coordinate every week because of vacations and other obligations but it simplified things a lot.[/quote]

Op here. When I only had 2 kids or when older kids were younger, we signed up for camps and sports together. This was easier when I only had one kid in an activity and could just follow a friend in some beginner class. As the kids got older, the boys seem to specialize more. No one plays rec anymore. Everyone seems to be focused on soccer or baseball or tennis including my own kids.

We usually go away the last weeks of August but positioned our vacations differently this year. I don’t think we were so off with everyone in previous summers. Or maybe everyone is just busier including our family. [b]We were out of town 5 weeks.[/b] [/quote]

Is this some sort of humble brag troll?[/quote]

That is typical for us, but not all at once. WFH jobs make it easier, obv. [/quote]

OP is gone half the summer. So its kind of weird that she is complaining that her kids friends are busy the weeks she happens to be in town. [/quote]
