[quote=Anonymous]We have thus far avoided weekend activities for our DC. We have not done rec soccer for this specific reason. We've done dance, gymnastics, and swim classes, but managed to find late afternoon/early evening weekday classes for all of them so we can take DC after work. I actually really look forward to these nights because either I take DC on my own and I enjoy leaving work early and then either working in the lobby or a nearby coffee shop or just reading or scrolling my phone. Or DH and I will both wrap up early if we are both WFH on that day, and then we'll drop DC off together and do a mini-date nearby. It sort of builds in down time into the work week. But keeps weekends free for whatever we want.

We do want to get DC into a team sport but starting next year, the school offers this option after school for a few different sports (should have started this year but it was pushed back for 1st graders due to Covid).

We like having relaxing weekend mornings and being able to travel and socialize without being restricted by activities schedules. I'm fine with the occasional weekend given over to a dance recital or field day or something, but no, I do not want to give up 10 consecutive weekends to soccer practice/games. It's too much.[/quote]
