[quote=Anonymous]I have three who are a bit older now. 13, 10, and 7. The challenges change, and I ended up going down to 80% to manage (DH works 65-70 hours/week). At this particular point, the challenge is around getting them where they need to be, having a parent to support at sports games, etc. We tend to be friends with other large families so we can swap driving at different events. WE have never had family around, though now the tables have turned there and my parents really need my help - having them a plane ride away makes it so that I can't help except in emergencies and then everything goes to heck. All three of my kids are very involved in sports and music; our lives would be a lot simpler had we chosen not to do that but they love it and that ship has sailed. [/quote]
