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:
I am not a parent either. It must be one of those happy : sad things when mom & dad relinquish chauffering duties but have the car insurance cost increase for the teen driver.
I was clicking my heals when my son got his liscence, and insurance does give good student discounts which is a great help. Plus we gave him the old beat up, only have liability on it car so that helped as well.
Swimming takes a toll. I know by March I am more than ready for the break after championship season.
