[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the screens and too much stuff going on. 3  activities in a weekend day? You are clearly trying to make up for the divorce. Do some crafts at home, read books together etc. [/quote]

I have an 8yo daughter and we often have 2-3 things going on. I have 3 kids though so the 8yo may be going to sibling’s games.

I’m not sure why OP would take her kid to Chuck E Cheese.

I don’t think it is fair OP is making up for divorce. We know kids who are only children and parents fill the day more than kids with multiple siblings.

My 8yo is a dream. I never buy her random things. I try hard NOT to spoil her.[/quote]

To be clear, your 8 year old may have learned that her only option was to be a dream because she has two older siblings whose games she is constantly made to attend and she's learned that no one listens to her or cares what she thinks she's since the third child.

I'm not saying any of that is true, by the way, I'm just saying that people are criticizing a lot of OP's choices while acting like somehow they deserved the wonderful children they got and (a) kids aren't always as you think they are - see as exhibits all the people who post on here and say they had unhappy childhoods when I'm sure their parents told everyone their childhood was magical and (b) kids aren't the same so the same input isn't going to get the same output every time.
