[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overscheduling threads are wild. I'm participating in one on the sports forum. Alot of ppl don't acknowledge it as a real thing [/quote]

I think almost everyone agrees that overscheduling is by definition bad.  However, the threshold for overscheduling is highly subjective. The folks on the sports board trying to impose their definition of overscheduling on every family are quite comical. [/quote]

I’d like to know where people draw the line. An activity per week day? Never having two activities on one day? Certain number of hours per week?[/quote]

I think it's hard to put an exact amount for each week. Some times of the year are just busy but I try to make sure that there's a weekend or week where we get a break. Fall and spring always seem packed with sports, back to school/end of school, etc but for us the winter is a much quieter time. The holidays give a long break and while my kids may take tennis or swim lessons they're not competing every weekend so it's around an hour a week for each activity. [/quote]
