[quote=Anonymous]If your kids are in aftercare, ditch the weekday activities unless they are at the school. The kids may complain but will survive. Summer is a great chance to try new things when those things can double as childcare. The reality is, you can't change your situation if you don't change something. To get to bed earlier and have time to eat together, they really need to get home earlier. I also don't see a huge issue with screens while you're prepping dinner, especially given the kids have had a long day of school + aftercare. Then maybe everyone can be recharged to have a little family time (whether it's sitting and reading together, playing a game, or you vegging on couch while the kids play). They've been busy all day though ... I wouldn't worry about doing something enriching, just being present.[/quote]
