Baltimore - So we have a feed service we use for stories that are not necessarily from the Baltimore area, but are good for the audience.  As I was looking through the offerings from this service I saw a story they called "Enough Already".  It's about how more and more parents are starting to say "no" to the extracurricular activites.

The story profiles one mother of three boys!  Of course, they all liked sports, and were all on a travel team.  So one day she decided "Enough Already" and took her boys off the travel team.  And while she got more family time, other moms were like "you took them out of sports?" It was shocking to everyone.

Now for me, I have 2 kids, a girl and a boy.  We have swimming, hip hop, ice skating, CCD and flag football.  Fortunately everything is on its own day and it's 3 things for my daughter and 2 for my son.  So it is a lot but not enough to take them out just yet.

But what about you? Have you had "enough already"?
