[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single mom here. I've certainly been in similar situations.

If it were me, I wouldn't make the younger do cheerleading, unless you think she needs an activity, she has none, she's just being very lazy, and you think it would be good for her. But that's aside from logistics.

If you made the decision that she will not be doing cheer, have the time her sister is there be quality time for the two of you. Sometimes studying in the closest library. Sometimes getting froyo. Sometimes walking in the park.[/quote]

+1 I'm a single parent with one child who is very engaged in extracurriculars and one that is more of a house mouse. When my "house mouse" was younger, they just had to come along to their older sibling's activities and: read; do homework; go on a walk with me; go to the playground nearby; run errands; whatever.

I actually have really fond memories of those times. It gave me quality time with my more introverted child, often while doing something else like taking a nature walk. [/quote]
