Hello,
My DS is four and my DD is 16 months and still not sleeping through the night. I'm exhausted. My husband works full time, I work part time and my husband is going to school full time. We have a lot of balls in the air. I'm not sure what to do with my DS. Right now he plays soccer. He got hit in the chest with the ball (he was blocking it) a couple of weeks ago and since then he has done as little as possible on the field. I'm frustrated because we paid for this, but whatever. He's out there he's moving around twice a week. He says he doesn't want soccer anymore. I'm making him finish out the season we paid for because I don't believe in quitting half way through the season.He said he wanted to do gymnastics. My mom's best friend is the office manager at a sorta local (it's about a 30 minute drive from me) gym. I called her up got the details new secession starts April 19th. No problem. He was all excited last week. This week was spring break. It rained most days and he hung out with his Grandmother and didn't really do much. Now he says he doesn't want to do anything. I offered him dance (my mom owns a dance studio), volleyball, basketball, baseball, swimming lessons, horse back riding lessons, karate, and tennis. He said no to all. "I don't want to do anything. I want to play (video) games." I would be happy to keep the extra money, we could use it, but I rather pay for him to be in some sort of group activity. If I thought for one minute I would be disciplined enough to get him outside to play more then I do now then I wouldn't care. I'm just so tired. So very very very very tired. He won't be in school for the summer so want to make sure he has other kids to do something with.
So my question for all of you is are there any other activities I have missed? I just don't know what to do with him. Am I pushing him too much? I'm so tired (have I mentioned this) and I can't even see straight anymore.
Thank you
