How active to keep the kids is a good question. I stopped being my daughter's primary entertainer when she'd come up and constantly say, "I'm bored." Initially I'd suggest play dates with her friends, outings, sleep overs, etc. Finally I figured it was her job to initiate.. afterwards, I'd help.
I love all the difference experiences you provide your daughter. My anxiety over big crowds kept me from doing many of the things you're doing with your daughter that sound so fun.
A good rule of thumb.. if you feel like it's too much it probably is.. and vice versa.
It's great reading about how your life is, what's working, what's intriguing. I appreciate your thoughts and caring on my thread.
My response was that the long term viability of any relationship is suspect....so why even sweat it.
