I am fully aware that 8:30 seems an ungodly hour to call "extra curricular" but I have two kids over the age of 10, and two nipping at their heels.
One of whom is a gymnast, so I have learned that you can't demand that they be home before 9:00..even on a school night….IF you choose a parenting style that has your kids "in stuff".
(which is something you and your spouse must debate and decide…which route are we going?)
it's a reasonable question for sure.
the only reason I am semi okay with afternoon/evening commitments is because my crew is home with me half the time for school….without that, I couldn't bear for them to be so busy in the afternoons.
I would simply miss them too much and would be incredibly frustrated by the lack of hours I had with them.
Back to us…
The "scheduling gods"…I say this tongue in cheek…have smiled on me.
Our fall schedule has just been finalized.
With a total of 27 hours of combined activities for four kids including tennis, gymnastics, and piano, during the afore mentioned hours, (which total up to 25 available hours),
somehow
someway
I (we) have been given Wednesday afternoons completely off.
nothing going on Wednesday afternoons.
nada
zero
zilch
zip
niente
nihil
not.a.thing. is scheduled for Wednesday.
I can't even believe it.
Seriously credit this to God having mercy on me.
I told Brad that if he dare step one foot inside this door after 5:00 on Wednesdays,
then don't even bother.
He may as well stay gone because
he will be in a pot of hot water.
I think he is actually a little scared….which he should be…because Wednesdays just became pretty important to this mama.
