[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does a parent need to go to the kids' practices and activities? I get that you may want to go to games or recitals, but every practice? We have three kids with a smaller gap, 3, 5, and 7. DH and I split up as necessary. Before COVID, we sometimes had babysitters take the older kids to lessons and practices. Playdates were drop-off for the older kids. But since COVID, we are only doing outdoor playdates, so often we just invite other whole families to play in our yard with our whole family or vice versa. The kids naturally divide up by some combination of age and interests.[/quote] I would usually take an extra child (or children) to practices/games and then use that as time with them. Read about dinosaurs to Little Brother, with a few short breaks to watch Big Sister bat.[/quote] If it is a win-win, I think it's great. But it seems like it's more of a burden for OP.[/quote]
