What kind of errands....
| Wed, 08-31-2005 - 1:41pm |
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 :-)?

"ou had BETTER drive to the school as soon as they call."
Or else, what?
Yes, I think its very important for a child, particularily a gradeschooler, to be given the opportunity to fit in reasonably well with the peer group into which a parent decides to place him/her. Its not just what they do after school. Its what they talk about all day, its how they play at recess, its what they collect and trade, its the big events they talk about and to which they can all relate, its how they connect with peers. Unless you have specifically gone looking for some alternative environemnt, then you are placing your boys into a social group where sports and athletics will be quite the the little social focal point. Whether Mommy and Daddy are interested isn't the important thing. That the other little boys and girls very likely will be, is. Because Mommy and Daddy no longer define the child's social group.
Now since the whole sports thing seems to be out - what common interests do you expect your 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11...yr old sons to share with classmates - the quality of stitching on their shirts? Or are you gunning for the big all encompassing video game focus? Becuase that is definitely another way to go. Or do you really think they will eek out as social life based on a shared interest in fine wines and gourmet cooking?
Maybe this whole thread should be about what a rotten deal you have going with your dh. Because if he weren't the way he is, none of this discussion would be possible.
