[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone!  Great advice.  Yes, we are also trying to support the bilingual experience in addition to consistent childcare after school.  I know these are huge benefits of the program.  But yes, I just feel maxed on the constant interaction.  And even the best APs' ability to stay on task with kids and house stuff related to the kids the minute I step through the door, yet she is still on shift.  There are some days when I am dying to work from home, but I know that she will be constantly talking to me.  This morning I just wanted a few minutes of peace to drink a cup of coffee and chat with my 7 year old, but she comes in the kitchen to ask my about NYC travel questions.  Like some of you we have started to set some boundaries with family vacations and I think this will help.  We have a big spring trip planned and we are not taking AP.  I am desperate for some family time and "AP as a member of the family" tends to be mostly a one way street, even with the best.
Thanks again for the concrete suggestions...an not trolls or snark...yet![/quote]
