P
Pickle's Mom
Hey all-
I’m new here, but I’ve been reading posts since my daughter starting competing L4 this year and I’ve learned so much. I need a pep talk or some sort of acknowledgement from other moms in families where both parents work and the child is in a competitive program.
So far, we’ve been able to make it work (barely) with car pooling and flexible schedules, but the summer is looming and making me crazy. We won’t know what team or level Pickle will be on until the beginning of June. And we won’t know her workout schedule until after that. All her current coach could tell me is that it is likely to be 4 hours x 4 times per week, but not which hours or days. It’s likely to be in the morning or, even worse, mid-day.
Ideally I would pay another mom on team to watch her, but at this point I don’t even know which kids are going to be on her team.
I imagine this will only get harder as she moves up in levels. How do people make this work?
