Hmm. Last I checked, the ADULT is in charge of the scheduling. Her fault for over-programming her kids. No sympathy.

It's the mother's fault. If she wants time to herself, she should tell her kids, "One activity at a time." and then make them choose.

I find the older I get, the more my self-censoring control in my brain ceases to function. I've been growling at moos in grocery stores just under my breath. Someday I'll be that 70-year-old crazy lady with a walker, screaming "you fucking cunt" at stroller-pushers in the parking lot.

Carlin on kids and activities:
And you'd be anxious and depressed too if you had to put up with these pathetic, insecure, yuppie parents who enroll you in college before you've figured out which side of the playpen smells the worst and then fill you with Ritalin to get you in a mood they approve of, and drag you all over town in search of empty, meaningless structure: Little League, Cub Scouts, swimming, soccer, karate, piano, bagpipes, watercolors, witchcraft, glass blowing, and dildo practice. It's absurd. They even have "play dates", for Christ sake! Playing is now done by appointment! But it's true. A lot of these striving parents are burning their kids out on structure.

I agree with today's kids being overscheduled - parents do that to 1.) keep their kids out of trouble and 2.) hope the sport "develops" the kid.

I was forced to go to swimming lessons, but I often pretended to forget my swimsuit because I knew how to fucking swim and I was being forced to swim underwater and retrieve bricks and leap off the diving board. Since, you know, those are things you need to know to survive in the water.
