The Avocado Parenting Thread Figures out Logistics

Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!

There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.

Discussion Prompt: Logistics. Between daycare, school, after school programs, sports, dance lessons, swim team, basketball, math tutoring, and of course parental work schedules, it can be tough to figure out how to get everyone in the family where they need to be. What’s your toughest logistical scheduling issue, and what’s your strategy for figuring it out?
