What kind of errands....

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 :-)?

A puking 5 YO is not an emergency.

It is to the school, who require a parent or guardian or other authorized adult to pick the child up.

That doesnt mean that there arent *lots of families* who do absolutely nothing. The statistics prove that quite readily.


I know plenty of families who are generally inactive, who dont place much emphasis on activity and dont get any kind of daily exercise. They are leading their children by example, and are setting them up for a lifetime of health problems. Children learn what they live, as the saying goes.

You're playing semantics now.

Maybe - if he or she lives an active lifestyle otherwise. It's probably easier if the sport they're remaining in the rec league of is, say, ping pong, too.

But it doesn't follow that kids who aren't in organized sports are inactive.

Is it better to be more active and also more overweight, or less active but thinner?

"In fact, it's a good thing you had your child, because I believe you posted that both you and your DH worked too much prior to having children." No, I've never, ever posted that either of us worked "too much" before having DS.

It can be if the DC or school tells you to pick the kid up immediately.

Does your DH, who WOH 60 hours a week, participate in all those things with you and the boys?
