Do you think a SAHM should go back to...

Do you think a SAHM should go back to work once the kids start school?
- Absolutely, why shouldn't she? There's no reason why she shouldn't.
- It's up to her & her family.
- No, not really. What do the kids being in school have to do w/ her working?

Activities for middle schoolers and up occur later on in the pm, especially travel teams and swimming and diving. It's a function of the availability of officials, teachers and coaches (I mean paid coaches, not mommy volunteers). These people typically have day jobs that prohibit them from being available at 3:00 in the afternoon.
You'll see.

I don't think enough can be said for families taking back their dinner time when they want it. Taking back their evenings for family time. Activities have their place but not to replace dinner and family time.
School activities do occur later. One activity per child at a time will be the house rule. I've seen this successful in both family and friend's homes as well as some neighbors I've talked with about this so I believe it can work here.
We are not those kind of parents that the kids are going to be running all over the place all the time. Some, yes. But not constantly.
