[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, just say no.

It's not healthy for a child to have this much power and influence and be so inconsiderate.[/quote]

Agreed. You are teaching your daughter that her needs must be met at the expense of your needs. I think you could drive her to her sports and one social gathering a week. Next year, she needs to choose a single sport per season. You might enjoy reading Boundaries, by Cloud and Townsend, OP. [/quote]

This. Maybe we are the other parents. We told our kids they can’t plan social events during the week. It’s too much. I was never allowed to go out on weeknights and I need some time to do laundry, cook and as you said, am exhausted after work too.  And my kids were busy enough with their sports and things and occasionally had HW.

My daughter would book every moment with social activities if she could and I would never cook anything because I’d be uber.  It’s hard enough with driving to sports.

Just say no. [/quote]
