'Logistically, it adds a level of complexity to everything.'
My twenty month old has been gnawing at my ankles since before sunrise, my four year old has required a three-ring circus since arriving home from preschool at noon, and my older boys have been violently resisting their homework for hours. Typically, this is the time of day that I can tap my co-parenter in, providing a little energy refresher for all.
can be problematic. It also creates an unbelievable accumulation of stuff. I have a hard enough time keeping track of and storing my kids' uniforms and equipment — add a couple collared shirts, a pair of good luck pants, and an arsenal of clipboards to the mix and my basement is now one big dirty gym locker.— corralling siblings, passing out snacks, and managing arguments — but I am doing that alone.
Oh, and the at-home brainstorming and prep is really something too. As someone who usually keeps an overly healthy distance from his phone, my guy is on the horn 24/7 in the fall breaking down film and discussing strategy with his co-coaches who are now very close friends. It’s early mornings and late nights designing reward stickers for helmets, highlighting game notes, and turning pool noodles into practice props.
Because at the end of the day, I know it’s worth it. Mostly because with four little kids and a full time job my husband has little to no time for outlets, so this has become his. He runs around laughing and joking with the other coaches, filling his psychical and social buckets both at once. And in a life category that I find absurd and insane — youth sports — he is the level-headed, kind-hearted leader I need for my boys and their friends.
So, here I am. An incredible martyr of a mother, who sacrifices her sanity and selflessly throws her co-parent into the huddle for the betterment of our youth. I’m kidding. But still — I’m tired! And I am already planning my post-season vacation.
