What kind of errands....
2007

Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?

I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

No parent knows ahead of time whether their child will be in the category of "most" children or in the minority.

Interest in academic extracurriculars?

Why is it an inferior parenting practice if your children are sometimes followers into activities rather than the first children on their block to sign up for soccer?

I wasn't discussing any particular person.

It's awfully convenient for your family that all 4 of you like the same types of activities.

"...if my pre-kid goal was to do what I wanted, when I wanted, how I wanted with zero hassle created by the presense of others who were not-me, I'd have been doing not much and quite frankly what I did manage to do, I'd have been doing alone."


That was not my experience whatsoever.

My family's interests don't overlap with eachothers' by much. Doesn't prevent us from being active in the least - in fact, it may encourage it.

Which of us has ever slighted any of those things?
