Hey gym parents,
Does anyone ever struggle with their kids gymnastics schedule? My DS got asked to move from pre team to team and that's 2x more practices. But they all start at 3:30pm. Like most, i work a full-time job that requires to be on site for 7 hours. Usually that's until 4pm. So obviously, I thought 3:30pm was a bit wacko, especially since most schools finish by then. But when i spoke with gym, apparently, i was the first to complain about start time. I quickly was informed later on, that most parents of the kids on team are stay-at-homes or their own business of some sort.
In summer time, these practices will start 10:30am. Like, I'm not the one off school, my kid is...
To those working parents who's jobs literally pay their kid's gymnastics, how do you guys juggle driving kids to practice while also working a full - time? Is gymnastics really that inaccessible to those who work? My son loves the sports and i feel guilty not letting him do it for my sake but at the same time, if i don't work, i cant pay tuition.![Face with head-bandage :head_bandage: 🤕](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f915.png)
