Twice this week I heard people whining about hauling kids to camps and activities. One was a neighbor who complained (in front of the child in question, no less), that she didn't want to be bothered driving him to day camp for a week. Other parents were bemoaning the frequency of little league games.
Now I too find little league troublesome. It's chaotic, and I have to schlep our two and a half year old from game to game, sometimes traversing parking lots and pavilions along the way. While I do think three games a week are too many for seven and eight year olds, I don't really mind it. Our son wanted to play and he's having fun. Same goes for swimming lessons, which we've now signed the little one up for too, and tennis. My spouse said he felt like a ping pong ball --camp drop off-swimming-camp pick up-tennis, etc. But why have 'em if you're not willing to haul 'em?
