[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have four kids and two high stress jobs. For us, the key is having school, day care, work, activities all close to home and truly partnering together to juggle things. [b]We keep our weekends and evenings as simple as possible.  Our kids have early bed times and we can finish work and hang out with each other after 8 pm.[/b] [/quote]

How old are your kids? This could work til they're about 7-8 but after that for most families the weekends will be packed w/ activities and play dates and bday parties etc. and the kids won't go to bed at 8pm forever.[/quote]

No is a complete sentence. I have older kids (late tween and Teen) and we say no to birthday parties and play dates. The kids have lots of friends. You don’t have to pack weekends/ weeknights with practices and games. We value time with our kids (who love to play sports!) but they know we do one sport a kid now. One plays basketball, our DD plays golf and our youngest prefers to be involved in theater. [/quote]
