Hi Gauri, I know you read my previous post where I touched on this subject - it is truly suffocating especially in the desi hubs hereabouts and sometimes I feel the competition is more among the moms than kids. Most kids just want to chill and play. I know my neighbor had signed up their elementary schooler for 7 or so after school activities (none cheap) - then she complains she's so busy driving across the state for practice and meets that she has no time for herself - crazy
