[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  This is crazy to me. Do your kids schools have cameras? Do you just sit an observe them all day? I don't like to judge but this whole concept seems a bit creepy. [/quote]

Yeah…it sounds pretty weird to have a video feed of gymnastics lessons. And not letting parents in but also asking them not to idle in their cars is just bizarre.[/quote]

Idling in the car creates bad air. Why do you even need to be told this? Yikes.  You seriously need some guidance on adukting.[/quote]

As another PP pointed out, if it’s 20 degrees out and the gymnastics place doesn’t have a waiting area for parents, I’ll be in my car with the heat on. If sitting in your freezing car is your version of “adukting”, then go for it.[/quote]

Serious question. Do you truly believe that sitting in the gym or sitting in your car are your only options for use of that time? [b] I am struggling to believe that a functioning adult cannot figure this out.[/b] Its basic executive functioning skills.  Here is what I do with that time:

Drop donations at Goodwill.
Take kids clothes and shoes to Kid to Kid.
Pick up my Harris Teeter order.
Get a coffee at DD and maybe some donuts for the kids.
Take a run through the neighborhood.
Pick up takeout.
It's just enough time for a quick Target run with self checkout.
Return books to the library.
Drop off donation books or grab some kids books at the friends of the library store.
Take a walk with another class parent.

I fill the time productively every week.  It seems like you have a mindset problem.  Really truly try to do better.  This is not a great example for you to set for your child.  You want them to have a more flexible system of problem solving that your are exhibiting.

Yes, you also seem to struggle to understand the difference between “not being able to figure something out” and “choosing not to do something”. I’m sure you’ll get there eventually.[/quote]
