Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I have just heard of two girls withdrawing after fifth because of hw load. My dc and I loved the school on tour, but she needs tons of sleep and physical/social activity and with a late bday to boot may have real problems adjusting to 3 hr+ workload. Not sure how to get the straight scoop here.
