[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me as a co-parenting single mom (however you want to word it?) most of our days off are spent at the river, lake, or ocean. I do see other families there, but we may go to a spot 3x a week and never see the same people. I have year round parking passes for nearby beaches/recreational areas so that gets us there more often.

I feel like it's such a parenting hack. Pack up a lunch, bring some chairs, sometimes bring our 5 person raft or paddle board, some tubes (we live in CA, though I did this as a kid in MN where lake life is big). Our spring break has been spent at a river 8 minutes from our home. I usually take a few puffs from my weed pen or drink a white claw when we get there to make it a little more fun (then by the time we leave several hours later it's worn off so no I'm not driving intoxicated).

I do have friends who like to go paddleboarding when my kids are away on the weekends, but none of my kids friends do this. [/quote]

I don't understand what you mean by "days off" -- you all have three "days off" a week?  Like, what? And how old are your kids... when mine were little we did lots of things throughout the week that are the DC-area weather equivalent to this, ha.  But now they are in ES and busy with ECs, homework, and my kids are very social and love to play with neighborhood and other friends.  We're not over-scheduled, just a good busy.  We love weekend outings, though.  [/quote]

OP here. I am a teacher, so I don't work spring break/summer, those are the days off. Only sport we do in the summer is swimming lessons. My kids do play with the neighbors.

And to others replying ...I love how I have been judged as irresponsible on here, yet I am the favorite teacher at school and all the parents appreciate/trust me. I bet a lot of the parents would be surprised to know most of us teachers smoke to deal with the stress? Never had an incident with my children or as a teacher, and my oldest is a preteen, they are always safe with me. I have anxiety so I am on top of safety stuff ha!

And I obviously don't smoke before/at school lol. Definitely not white trash to the other PP, grew up UMC and well educated here.
