[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you OP. So hard for kids to have spontaneous play dates on weekends bc kids as young as 5 are so over scheduled! Like hello please stop freaking out about your kids resume and start letting them have a childhood[/quote]

5 yr olds aren’t over scheduled their parents just don’t want to deal with you.[/quote]

+1. A 5 year old doesn’t need a spontaneous play date. They don’t need to be in an activity either. Weekends are for quiet relaxation. I turn things down because I just want to be with my own family.[/quote]

Quiet relaxation often means screens for kids.

I have a friend who values family time and weekend relaxation. Her husband likes to hang out at home with kids. Their kids have more screen time than the kids who are doing activities. The dad doesn’t want to drive kids around. He prefers family time.

They usually do an outing to eat or see cherry blossoms or whatever. Then they relax at home mostly on screens.[/quote]
