Tuesday, September 10, 2002Claire Holland, a 44-year-old lawyer, said she tries to strike the right balance between giving her four children a healthy exposure to activities, while keeping family life sane. She has an enormous kitchen calendar, plus a palm pilot, to keep track of the soccer, gymnastics, basketball, and drama lessons that her children take part in. She also scaled back her work hours to a part-time schedule, roughly 20 hours a week, so she can serve as the family's chauffeur. ''I deliberately set it up this way,'' she said while picking up her son at a Watertown soccer field last week. ''It's the only way it could work.'' Come on. She’s using the kids’ activities as an excuse to cut back on her work schedule. She may have struck balance in her life, but not in the kids’ lives. posted by Sydney on 9/10/2002 06:02:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
