Rant: weekend soccer is ruining our family life
Every single Saturday and Sunday from March to November is booked solid. My 9yo plays on two teams (don't ask why, long story), my 7yo just started, and it's consumed literally everything. We haven't done a family hike in months. We can't commit to anything. And the worst part? She doesn't even like it that much. She only does it because her friends do. I need to have the hard conversation with her but I'm dreading it.
I get that kids need activities but not at the expense of actual family time. You need to sit down and figure out what's non-negotiable here because right now everything is negotiable and that's the problem.
