DD1 is about to turn 6. There has always been reasons why she hasn't been able to attend any classes or do any activities like that. She did used to do swimming, but hasn't since we moved back to Melbourne just over a year ago.

I wanted to get her in to do Little Aths. She loves running, I think she would really enjoy it. Missed the enrollment last year, as she didn't turn 5 until November (season runs from September onwards through summer) so waited until this year.
Except now I am working full time (so I can afford for her to do some activities), and just checked out the website, and training is Wednesday nights from 5-6pm! Competition night is Friday, but they start t 5:45pm. I could get her to competition nights, but I don't finish work until 5!

Also looking at ballet - she has been asking for 2 years - and the places I can afford either don't have classes on Saturdays or they are full.

How do people do this, single, working full time, and still manage to have their children attend any kind of extra curricular activity? As it is we get home at 6, do dinner bath and its bedtime. And DD1 needs her sleep, otherwise she is falling asleep in class, so I have to be quite strict with the bedtime as it is.

I am feeling really ****house about this - she desperately wants to do some things, I can afford for her to do them and I *want* her to do them, I think it is really important - but I just don't know how I can physically do these things on my own.

How do you do it? Can it be done? Or do I just need to suck it up and accept that she won't be able to do anything?
