[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dropping kids off/picking them up, running them around to activities, making them snacks is not a hard job but it is a responsible job.

It's harder when they are younger.  Once they get older and can ride the bus or walk home or stay after school for an activity it becomes easier.

Most extracurricular activities take place during evening hours. [b]You really have to look to find a non school related activity that happens directly after school.[/b]

??? All my kids activities are right after school: soccer, swim, gymnastics and piano. None are in the evening.[/quote]

SAHM of three - two teens and one ES.  Three schools.  I will pick up ES DC at dismissal today to make a 5:00 practice.  ES gets out at 4:00.

Also, I am busier now than when my three were younger.  A different busy, but I often have to juggle three schedules, not including my own.  I earnestly try to be home when middle school arrives at 2:30. HS DC arrives at 3.  Youngest doesn't go to ES until 9:00.  Time flies.[/quote]

this assumes your kids are in the same school and the same schedule.  I will have one starting school at 7:20 next year and the other at 9:15.  One gets out at 2:30, the other at 4:00.

Not saying it's "hard work" -- but it can be less time than you think.

You have close to six hours a day with no kids home every day.  Doesn't sound very crazy.[/quote][/quote]
