[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here. I remember when my oldest was starting freshmen year, we learned fall sports tryouts start out in early August. We usually vacation then. They also have tryouts in the middle of the day at random times. I don’t know how these kids get to tryouts and practice. I’m a SAHM so I can do it.[/quote]

I lived about a mile away from my high school and would just walk or run over for preseason practice. There is also uber teen now and carpool. I agree that with three kids in lots of activities it is logistically challenging to manage everything as they age and it helps a lot to have flexibility.  [/quote]

Carpool as in other parents drive, not you.  That’s not carpooling. [/quote]

Or other high school students drive...your child can even get a license in their junior or senior year and drive. Getting to preseason practices in the middle of the day is not an impossible feat in most places, especially the DC metro area. High school students can ask an upperclassman who lives close to them to pick them up and drive them, they can bike, they can walk or run, they can use uber teen, they can take the metro, they can take a bus, they can ask a friend who lives close by and is going with a parent to drive them, you (their parent) can drop them off at a library near the school on your way to work in the morning and they can spend the day studying or reading or texting and then go to practice and either get a ride home or wait for you to pick them up at a number of locations around the school or at the school.

Driving your child to preseason is the bottom of list for why you should become a stay at home parent. [/quote]
