[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would now that my kids are high school aged.  Life is far busier now.  The kids have endless games and activities and it's hard not to be around to attend these.

When they were young I had no desire to be home.  It's much different now that they're older.  [/quote]

I feel totally opposite.  I’m a big introvert, and I loved rocking my babies and going to the library and on nature hikes and reading them stories.  Now that they are older, I don’t mind going to their games, but I don’t really feel sad about missing them.  I definitely prefer hanging out with them at home, and if I had to choose between working during a volleyball game or working during a Sunday afternoon that they were hanging around the house, I would definitely miss the game.

Are your kids really big athletes?  Do they really like having you there, or is it more that you are an extroverted family, and you like hanging out with the other parents while they hang out with the other teens?  Or does it feel like a better experience when you go (like watching a movie with someone else vs watching alone)?
