[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids similar ages to yours - mine are going into 9th, 6th, and 3rd.  My rising 9th grader is a boy - but we are out of the babysitting scene if he's around - he can babysit and so can you rising 9th grader, I would think.

My youngest is going into 3rd - and I told her that in our family - starting in 3rd grade you can get yourself to and from school - that means walk to school or walk to the bus stop as applicable.  Not sure you can do that - but my kids go to public school - and I think if are doing private - you have to accept that you made that more difficult commute choice and it is what it is.

We have the every other week house cleaner and we have someone else mow our lawn since having kids.

I also don't appease my picky kid - but I guess it's different if your doctor says to.  My kid is small but not failure to thrive- is there another reason your dr. says to?  I was small myself and sometimes not hungry.  I don't allow dessert if you haven't eaten a real meal - but if you don't want to eat a real meal - that's your choice.  I think they'll eat if they're hungry and that's what my dr. told me to do.

I think everyone with two working household and 3 kids is generally frazzled.  It's not easy - no one is really doing it better than you.[/quote]
