That's where my LO takes her gymnastics class on Saturday mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2068220 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 09:31:30 +0000 mediagirl 2068220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We absolutely cannot do weekday activities. M's bedtime is 7pm, I don't get home until 5:20 and I think the family dinner is really important. </p> <p>So...any activities will have to happen on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2068212 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 09:30:10 +0000 MoreCoffee 2068212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish more places offered weekend activities (looking at you, The Little Gym). We've done swim classes and lots of museums on the weekends but I would love to have an evening activity every once and a while. Our daycare does a lot of special things with them though - animal shows, kids' bands, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2068134 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 09:00:00 +0000 autumnlove 2068134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really tired on activity days on work days. We only have soccer right now but we had gymnastics and soccer during the week for a little bit. We also do sports camp class on Sat morning but it is only 30 mins. Whoops, we also have EI sessions but that is ending very soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2068068 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:23:46 +0000 Anagram 2068068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOs daycare already has dance, art, circle singing time, and will have gymnastics when she's older so I feel no pressure to sign her up for additional classes.</p> <p>She'll need swimming lessons, but I'll do those in summer when I'm off work. When she's older, I might sign her up for a "real" dance class, but it would have to be at night, at 5 pm or later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2068025 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:38:56 +0000 bushelandapeck 2068025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS goes to gymnastics with our nanny during the week and we take him to swim lessons on Saturdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067998 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:21:33 +0000 looch 2067998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekends, and if it really needs to get done during the week, like my son's weekly speech therapy, I am lucky to have my mother be able to take him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067893 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:57:10 +0000 lemondrop 2067893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not well- it's always a struggle between both worlds. </p> <p>Our swim classes are Friday evenings right now, so it is a chaotic day, but we pretty much cut work off at 5pm on Fridays and make it a family evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067496 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:03:59 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2067496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The swim class we have N enrolled in is at 6:40 pm. They have classes til 8 pm on weekdays as well as Sat and Sun classes. I've been looking into gymnastics classes, and they have classes at 5:30 and 6:30 pm on weekdays, so it works with our schedules... and they have Saturday classes too (but I'd rather not enroll them in weekend classes just yet bc we like to do things together as a family). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067473 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:47:09 +0000 mrsjyw 2067473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't! Our swim class is on Sunday morning! We're looking into a toddler soccer class for Saturday! </p> <p>We did Gymboree at night but the time was just too late w Ds' bedtime. So we dropped out. </p> <p>During the week Ds just goes to the library, playground or mall for out of the house time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067403 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:10:48 +0000 T-Mom 2067403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a good number of moms who have gone part time (myself included) to help accommodate the activities... But I also have friends who hire babysitters to get their kids to activities... You either have to do that or just stick to weekend and at-school activities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067400 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:08:40 +0000 Canoli 2067400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't either. We are going to enroll him in karate but only because it's offered at daycare during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067397 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:07:13 +0000 lawbee11 2067397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have M's gymnastics class on Saturday mornings. And we'll probably do swim lessons on Saturdays this summer as well. There's no way we'd be able to fit it in during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067395 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:06:47 +0000 Smurfette 2067395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't.

I guess daycare counts as one big activity </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-juggle-work-and-activities#post-2067370 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:52:46 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2067370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like there's no time for me to have DD enrolled in any classes because they're always during work. I'm trying to squeeze in a gymnastics class once a week by getting to work super early and leaving early. I want to add swimming lessons but those are even earlier. </p> <p>How do you do it? </p>
