Come out! Thread for parents of young children (<10).

And when you do get around to outside activities…be smart. My kids thought we were a bit mean because we said ONE out of school activity. They each played an instrument, and each did one sport per year (not per season…per year). We were not prepared to drive them to scouts, and dance, and drama lessons, and children’s choir…and and and. So they had to choose.

Both were taking dance lessons when they auditioned for and were accepted into children’s choir. They had to make a choice…one or the other.
