[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1323505, member: 14544"] Well, I think moderation is a good thing. We're working to simplify our lives more so that we aren't being pulled too thin- unloading extra baggage from keeping us from doing what we should be doing. I have split custody with my oldest girl. I wish I had more say in her schedule. Her mother has her doing something every dang night and some days multiple things besides a heavy school load. She's worn out by Friday. School soccer every morning at 7 am, a competitive league Tuesday and Thursdays for an hour to hour and a half in the evening. Saxophone in the jazz band Wed for the last 2 years, followed by piano lessons she's been taking since she was 4 with another teacher. That's besides practicing the flute- her regular band instament. I think competetive volleyball practice is on Monday, and we have an all day tournament tomorrow. Which leaves us Sunday to really see her and then half the time she's trying to get homework done. It's ridiculous. Not healthy for her or for her ability to be part of the rest of our family. The rest of the kids are pretty young, and they will be on a different path. I want them to treasure their family more than all these other activities. We do and we'll do stuff, but they will have to pick. And I refuse to feel guilty about that. As far as money goes, I hope to show them responsibility. I think that is the most important thing I can do for them. If you need any assurance on sticking to your guns, listen to Dave periodically.
