Afterschool Activities Overwhelming

I have three kids ages 6,4 and 1. Right now my 4 and 6 year old each do an activity one night during the school week, and we are usually out a third night for example for doctor appt or such. My husband travels and can't help out. I feel really overwhelmed trying to complete homework, get them out the door, go through a drive through, eat late etc. Next year, I'd like to have no activities during the school week and push them to the weekend when my husband can help. Does this sound possible?? Everyone I talk to says "good luck with that". ...

Leaving Child Home Alone

Since there is no actual "law" regarding this in CA... I am curious, how many people have left their child home alone and for what time duration? Or at what age to think it is ok for a child to be home alone, for 5 minutes, for 30 minutes etc? I have, on one occasion left my extremely mature and responsible son, who is almost 8, home alone while I went to pick up my younger one from school, so about 6 minutes total and we live on a cul-de-sac where we know all of our neighbors very well and they were all home at the time. Just curious...

What to Do About the Homework?

I may have posted on here about this issue before but now I think my kids are getting too much homework. I don't want to be the only mom in my sons' 1st grade and pre-school class complaining about homework. It seems no one else is and most of the moms I talk with are happy with the homework situation. A few who have complained in the past have been sort of branded as a lazy mom who does not care about their child's education and why in the world would anyone object to homework. Maybe some of the moms don't work fulltime outside the...

What Do to About Job

I have been back to work full-time now for about 1 1/2 years and I really hate it. I got a new manager about 4 months ago and she is just unbearable. She is completely opposite then me - very confrontational and rude. My heart just isn't in my work at all. I don't want to be there as it is and now I have to put up with her micro-managing. I make great money which is the worst part of all! My husband won't let me quit because his business is in jeopardy right now. He owns his own construction business and of course it has completely...
