[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents' jobs, number of siblings, and availability of family help don't affect whether a particular kid is overscheduled. [/quote] Sure they do. If you are always having to tag along to your sibling's practices/games/lessons because you only have 1 available parent at that time, it means you have less time for your own practices/games/lessons. If instead grandma can watch you or your parents can go two different directions, then it is a very different feel. Yes sideline siblings basically goof off the whole time, ideally with other kids, but it still is less completely free time.[/quote] You assume older kids can’t watch younger kids or there are no carpools. Everyone’s life isn’t as bleak as you're thinking. There are many ways to mitigate this that people can take advantage of.[/quote]
