Those girls who spent years in seminary learning all of the sudden can't fast and teach at the same time. But I still have to work a whole day. One of these days I'm going to add up babay sitting costs from all of these days and present it as a bill to the schools.Lakewood Falling Downhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483392684657880997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777372649479002037.post-17213213707307593132009-08-12T10:44:18.626-04:002009-08-12T10:44:18.626-04:00A bus... what a concept.

No, actually my boys can walk to camp which is helpful when we get under a week's notice for a trip that comes home at 10:30 PM. <br /><br />I think that we lead really hectic lives, and that carpooling and homework and mitzvah notes and tutoring and therapies and lessons are the new washboards. Each generation has its own thing, I guess. <br /><br />And yes, we do feel pressured to give each kid the best of everything and to put our own needs last. Except sometimes the hectic life itself is too crazy for the family. And if we don't take care of ourselves, everything falls apart.Staying Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228636990839399469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777372649479002037.post-64582213216995676012009-08-12T07:05:11.898-04:002009-08-12T07:05:11.898-04:00Changes in schedule are inconvenient, and the scho...Changes in schedule are inconvenient, and the schools and camps do often act as if we have absolutely nothing else to do, ever. They also seem to have no clue that some of us might have, for example, six kids in 4 different schools, each of which has made special plans. It's times like this that I long for the old days ... our grandmothers or greatgrandmothers didn't drive ... of course, they didn't have washing machines either, so goodbye to that fantasy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777372649479002037.post-870673623001288122009-08-12T00:25:41.682-04:002009-08-12T00:25:41.682-04:00I wonder, lulei demistafina, how well the culture ...I wonder, lulei demistafina, how well the culture of "fun" fits into our true vision for our children as shomrei Torah umitzvos. Yes they should enjoy their summer, but will they be ready for school come September?CJ Srullowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851508109666827492noreply@blogger.com
