[quote=Anonymous]We have 2 elementary school aged children and two working parents and it's gotten a lot harder even though our children only take 1 activity per season. I pick them up from after school care between 5:30-6 pm, we come home and have a 2 1/2 hour window for showers, homework, and dinner. It's stressful for the children because we are all rushing around. Then there's snow day closures, sick days, teacher work days with complete meltdowns because they want to stay home and not go to SACC, there's SACC pick up when DH travels for work and I'm scrambling to make it to SACC by 6:15. We are seriously thinking about DH quitting his job in order to have a more balanced life at home. We'd have to give up our house and move to a townhouse but some of the townhouses are more expensive than our older SHF so financially, it doesn't make sense for us to move. We're struggling with the decision. [/quote]
