We are completely the Disneyland parents. I think we are. We don't always spend money but the second the kids walk through the door the world revolves around them. It's activities, wether it's games & crafts, parks & calls to get people together for a basketball game... or spending money going places...

We are non-stop. I know it's not that way at either home. Not my kids bio dad's & not my steps bio moms. Both of the exes are go out to eat (we 95% of time have home cooked meals or we pack a cooler) & if they do anything out of the house it's movies (we only do the cheap theater & a regular movie 2-3x a year). And when they're home it's--- shut them up with electronics constantly (& I'm anti electronics. Allowing some but they have to mix it up with breaks with other activities)

I feel like we need to reel it in. The kids are always "what are we doing?" They totally expect we have something going on all the time. I don't know how we fell into this. My DH has ALWAYS been this way. But I haven't. I am all about walking, biking, parks, etc but never paying for entertainment.

I feel sick to my stomach thinking about how much $ we spent just this weekend alone.

I had a stroke on 1/16, it's been worse since. Because I am not able to think & plan activities as well as I use to be & I stay home so much that I don't want to be there when we do have the kids. Ugh.

Going to have to make some goals to reel this in. Have y'all fell into this terrible habit?
