[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do rec sports which amounts to 1 practice during the week and 1 hour long game on Saturdays. It hardly takes up our entire weekend. This past weekend our game was at 9am, we were done at 10am. Still the rest of the day to hang. We had some family time and DC had a friend over for a few hours.[/quote]

+1.  I don't understand how one rec league game for one child takes up an entire weekend.  Last weekend we did a baseball game, karate, playdate, and lunch, and it was still only noon when we were done![/quote]Damn, what time did you have to leave the house? Or were some of these things at the same time? Like kid1 is in practice while kid2 is at the play date?

The one family we know very into sports has three kids in multiple sports each and they’re not all scheduled at the same time and place. So maybe the morning is spent at baseball, but their afternoon is at wrestling or whatever. They get home for dinner on Saturdays and usually after lunch on Sundays. I can handle the rec schedule you do, though. Just not the heavier schedules. [/quote]

I am pretty rigid that the activities we do have to be convenient to us.  We left the house at 8:50 for a 9am baseball game, which finished by 9:45.  Karate from 10-11.  Picked up sandwiches from the coffee shop while kid was doing karate, and went to a playground.  Lunch/playdate on the play ground from 11-12. [/quote]

If karate ends at 11 how did you make it to the playground by 11? My kid would be disappointed with a less than one hour playdate that included sitting and eating lunch. This just seems so jam packed to me.[/quote]

Lady you sound insufferable. [/quote]
