Monday - beavers til 7.15.
Tues - as above

Fri - as above.

Sports club on Friday is an 8 wk course.

I work 2.5 days, sometimes school hours on the extra 2 days.

It feels a lot but I can't work out what to drop. Feel like swimming is essential. Beavers/cubs good for them. They want and choose to do the after school activities.

Really I need to drop the work 🤣 so we can have easier Tues and weds nights.

@Foxesandsquirrels you know this is a forum, where people ask questions, have discussions, cone for advice etc? Feel free to scroll on by if it irritates you.

I'm not irritated at all. I'm just trying to figure out what opinion you want. It's not clear. If your kids are happy and doing well, keep it all, it sounds fun.

Feels like a lot to me, but depends on their age and how they are managing it.

My 7 yr old daughter does 3 activities a week and that’s fine, but my older son does 2 and that’s his limit as he very much NEEDS his down time.

Im sure you’ll notice if it’s too much. They’ll be tired and asking for more time to relax or moaning about going.

I assume you have low key weekends to catch up and have down time?

I think that there are too many unknown variables to answer you but one of my children does far more and another barely anyway. It’s down to the child really.
