[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly OP is insecure about her choice to stay home

I'll bet that she quit work years ago, and now bored silly staying home. Then the kids came home and asked if they could go to after care because all their friends are there and the playgrounds are filled only with babies an preschoolers (and we all know this is true, I go there often with my 5 year old at 4 pm)

And of course because she quit and downsized, well there isn't any money to pay for aftercare... Ain't that the rub

God forbid your husband gets furloughed or lad off from Biglaw or decides he wants a partner not a trollish housekeeper for a wife. [/quote]

I don't think this is the case. Instead of wasting time in after care, her kids can take lessons, join sports teams, practice music, or just be at home.[/quote]

Oh, yes - they can be overscheduled and pushed to the limit by their hovering, anxious parents until they too are anxious and miserable.  Perfect!

Don't believe me?  I used to work at a private K-8, where 7th and 8th graders would routinely tell me how "stressed" they were by the burdens of school, competitive sports leagues, piano recitals, etc etc etc.  You're not some parent of the year for forcing your kid into 8,000 activities because you are rich and have time on your hands.  So get off your high horse.[/quote]
