Enough about the kids. What about us? Is swimming eating its parents? Are we aging badly because we're always up before dawn driving our kids to swim practice? I know parents who hate swimming. I know parents who are sleeping in their cars during their kids' 4:40 am practices. Is this healthy? Can't we have more evening practices? I know the kids have to double up sometimes, but we may have an epidemic of sleep-deprived grumpy parents. Like me, I did not want to get up this morning. :coffee:
Luckily my son is not old enough yet for AM practices. On the other hand, I am so my wife informed me my workouts would be AMs only so we can have dinner as a family. Between that and hunting season I never get any sleep this time of year anyway. I can't even imagine it when I have to cart my son to workouts, too. And even worse, what happens when dad can't keep pace anymore???
