To ask what you normally do after school with primary aged kids

[Janeaustenaddict]

What do you/your kids ds do after school? Reading the playdate thread earlier today with people having weekly playdates I feel I am not doing enough with the kids after school. But I'm not sure how others fit it all in alongside homework, time to relax etc.

So our week looks like this
Mon - DD1 has a maths tutor (as really struggling with this)
Tues - both DC do ballet (consecutive classes so takes up most of the evening)
Weds/thurs- snack, play at home, homework, watch TV
Fri - film and pizza 🍕 night at home

We also have one or two playdates a term, the odd trip to the shops and/or library. Saturday both DC have swimming and dance classes so quite a hectic day.

What do you get up too? And if you do more fun stuff how do you fit homework/reading/spellings in etc?

Scouts clubs and the odd playdate and Friday night disco club. That's it for us, I know many parents who entertain their kids every night with clubs and play dates etc. You can't have a conversation with them, their kids are constantly butting in or whining for attention because they don't know how to play independently. What will they do as adults, they will be nightmares in work and relationships!

Totally generalising here but this is the experience I've had.
