so I just let dd (8) join the local swim team. it's only a 'development squad' to start with - an hour on a sunday. but she also does dancing and just started viola lessons and suddenly i think i'm totally bonkers for even considering one more activity. now all I hear is - oh before you know it you'll be up at 6 for practice before school - and now I literally can't sleep for worrying about what i've gotten myself into. she loves swimming so i thought i was doing the right thing - would i be the worst mother ever to turn around and say, 'sorry i made a mistake, you can't do it'? will it not be as bad as I think and i should just let her give it a go for a while? she does understand that eventually she may have to choose between the different activites - but the honest truth is it's me i'm worried about more than her at the moment.
