[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't take people who submit to peer pressure seriously.  Where is this pressure coming from and how spineless are you that you care about it?  Grow up and be a parent.  Do what you and your kids wants to do.[/quote]

And if you have 3 kids who all want to play sports and do Cub Scouts and they are all different ages so they are on different teams and in different dens?

To me it sounds like the OPs kids are interested in these two activities, plus all their school stuff, and that it is a bit much because there are three kids with two activities that don't share a time. Which would suck.

It does not sound like the kids are over scheduled or that what they want to do is too much individual just that it is overwhelming to the Mom, perhaps, hopefully, both parents.

So don’t have three kids. I’m not trying to be an asshole but honestly we took this  into account. I have two boys and they’re both super into everything. It would not have been fair to be dragging a baby along to everything and as they got older nobody could do what they wanted. It is what it is. I have friends that have three kids and they commit to teams etc. and don’t make games/events  because “the three kids.” Sorry I’m not sympathetic.[/quote]
