[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^we like to leave time on the weekends to get together with other families we're friends with.  Our kids love these get togethers, too, at least for the time being.  Yes, sometimes those are outings to the pumpkin patch or a farm brewery with a playground, etc.  [/quote]

And you can’t plan these things around a one hour soccer game? Of which you have the entire season scheduled in advance? Play One sport doesn’t take up your entire weekend. Hell, my kids play multiple travel sports and it still isn’t take up our entire weekends.[/quote]

We have three kids, so if each did a sport like that, it would take up much of the weekend. Also, you know that many leagues have games all over the place, so you have to factor in travel time. We also like our family to have downtime, so that’s in there, too. Some families are barely home all weekend and that’s fine. Also fine: not wanting that.[/quote]

Yeah, the “you can’t plan around a one hour soccer game” is ludicrous. Between traveling across town to games (even if not a travel team) and ridiculously early and late scheduling to accommodate so many teams on the same fields, plus multiple kids, my sports parents friends have their weekends eaten by kiddie ball. “One hour,” my foot.[/quote]
