Was thinking of signing my daughter up for aikido because a friend is doing it and loving it. And then maybe I'll take aikido classes too. And yoga. And the kids can go to singing lessons. And...time to re-read this post and not do any of that. Instead we made apple crisp and played guitar at home. The End. *I* needed to re-read it this week.

In giving up everything it sounds as if you gained everything! Relaxation, quality time, an opportunity to share things with your kids instead of just chauffering them around. I am a big fan of not overscheduling and getting back into simple or slow parenting. I have 10 steps to follow that allows people to do so and to become happier parents and have happier kids in doing so! My steps are called "Retro-'Renting". please check out my blog at <a href="http://www.retrorenting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">www.retrorenting.blogspot.com</a>.... Great entry!

It backfired in the summer, when all their friends were at tutoring, day camp, robot camp, sports camp and a million other day camps all summer. There was nobody for them to play with.
