Childrens extracurricular activities

[Mumbff]

I just totted it up.... I spend 19hrs a week taking my two children to their clubs in the evenings & at weekends and watching them!! No wonder Im tired 🤣 Just wondered how many of you do the same!?

If DH is away so im doing it all...
Monday... two 30minute round trips.
Tuesday... only if the weather is shocking... two ten minute round trips (she walks normally).
Wednesday... drive 25minutes, wait 90 minutes, drive 25 minutes.
Thursday... two 25 minute roubd triips (although the finish time can be 20 minuteslate or more, so im waiting around)
Friday... drive 30 minutes, wait 90 minutes, drive 30 minutes
Saturday... drive 45 minutes, wait 2hrs, drive 45minutes.
Sunday... drive anything up to 90 minutes, watch Rugby match, wait for post game socialising, drive up to 90 minutes home.

I sleep occasionally. (Thats over 2 children)

Same here, hubby works away. Its hard work isnt it? Sounds like you do an amazing job for your children.

We do about an hour of driving 4 days a week. I definitely don’t hang around and watch though. I come home. In one case, there’s no one for parents to sit so we aren’t allowed it. I only stay at one activity because it’s only an hour but a 30 minute drive away. My dd trains at the national level is a sport and spends about 15 hours a week at training. But I definitely don’t stay to watch. Dh and I share it equally so it’s really only about 2 hours a week each.

My son is 3 - so far zero clubs or extracurricular activities! Hoping to keep it that way as long as possible!!

well today I was out 4 hrs for dcs sports but the journey was short and it’s great catching up with parents. My dc do lots but the main reason I live where I live is everything is on the doorstep. I couldn’t cope with spending hours travelling
