Taekwon-Do, Explore learning tuition, violin classes, art club, and church youth club........is it just me, or do other mums sometimes feel like a glorified PA, scheduling busier and more complicated weeks for their child, while at the same time, trying to crowbar in the "boring" things, such as meals and sleep?
Last Friday, my son brought home a leaflet about Taekwon-Do classes which are being held in the local school every Wednesday, and begged me to join him up immediately, as if the world would end if I didn't! "Hang on" I said..."You've also joined up to Explore learning classes, and you know that art club and youth club will soon be starting up again as the holidays are finished...are you sure you want to do yet more? You're going to be very busy. Also, you know I'm not working at the moment, & these things can be very expensive, I'll have to see about this"...
Well, what can I say? As well as feeling like a glorified PA, I suspect other mums, like me, also feel bad if they deny their child the chance to learn a new skill and/or make friends too. SO....I had my think about it.....and er..he starts this Wednesday... ;-) Let's hope I don't end up living off beans on toast!
