Family Talk: Extracurricular Activities

Bayside Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Bayside with Raising Queens, weekly.

Here is a new installation of Family Talk, the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today about babysitters and childcare.

From playdates to music lessons and dance class to soccer, I find my kids' schedules to be more filled than my own. It seems that weekends and vacations, in my household, are centered around my kids and their extracurricular activities.

With my husband and I running from one event to the next and splitting up to accomodate both my son's and daughter's activities, I can't help but wonder if it's all too much, leading to this week's Family Talk topic of the week.
