[quote=Anonymous]Life is one big, happy circus. We both work FT and both travel for work. Three kids - youngest now in HS. All played 3 sports, music lessons, and other activities. We had help from college sitters that job shared until kids went to school full day. Then we had just one until youngest was in 1rst grade. The sitter covered from 2:45- 5:45 and could stay until 6:30 if we needed transportation. Then one spouse switch to a more flexible, hybrid schedule and we stopped all extra assistance. I would get an early start with work and spouse would take the morning prep and school drop off. I would pick up and could do most after school activities. Carpools are the best thing going, even now in HS. During some seasons we have to switch to a different Rec team b/c the nights didn’t work out. Kids had to help out around the house as a trade off. They made their own lunches, helped with dinner and clean up and laundry, etc. There was no downtime for about 10 years…. [/quote]
