[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s pretty extreme. Most families we known (in a neighborhood with many dual feds) shift their schedules so that one parent is home earlier.

However my kids are often out of the house from 8:30am - 6:30 or 7pm due to sports or activities, with 25-45 min at home to switch from school clothes and pick up sports gear and food. That is a choice - not RTO. [/quote]

Bring out of the house to include activities like this is not the same as being out of the house for a long and continuous block of time at beforecare/school/aftercare. With the activities, at least the day is broken up by some coming and going to and from home plus you are spending time in the car with your kids which can be pretty valuable for conversation.

Oh please. This is what UMC striver parents tell themselves to justify that their kids are over scheduled. You are making a choice for them to do all of these activities. Parents whose kids are in aftercare have to work. Big difference. [/quote]
