[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's stopping you from going for a walk and making DD come with you?[/quote]

I work till 6, then start making dinner, cleaning, and ferrying kids to music lessons, math tutors, helping with homework. Do you know any working parents???

If I go to the gym it’s at 5am or 10pm. [/quote]

NP. So basically it’s not a priority for your family.  Everything that is suggested, you have a come back to.

Why isn’t homework done by the time you get home? Why aren’t your older kids doing something to help get dinner on the table?  [/quote]

All I’m saying is I want the kid fitness to happen after school before dinner — any suggestions of how to get that to happen?

My kids do help with dinner, but they are in hard classes and spend a lot of time on homework. [/quote]

After school and before dinner has to be at a school adjacent/sponsored activity. So sports that are available there or you hire a babysitter/drover to drive them to fencing/ninja courses/whatever other activity they prefer. Academics are a priority for you and that's  great but then that's the priority and recognize that there is limited time for other things especially of the kids are not self motivated to do fitness. Im not self motivated to work out but i do it 2ce a week so my bones don't  all break at 60. Dh is super motivated and works out daily at 5 am. But like the PPs we prioritized jobs and locations that would enable being home early (by 5) and we make the kids do a physical activity as part of their week and also do weekend hikes and summer evenings at the pool.
