On Monday a new school year is going to start for my kids. Today I spent a great of my day in their schools, to see their schedule and to know which material to buy. I already bought some material (in the photo) but I still have things to buy. This year they both have a heavy schedule, I don't know when will they have their swimming lessons. My daughter also want to have music lessons but with her schedule that is going to be difficult. I can always count on my parents to help us but we (me and my husband) will have a very busy year.... Can't wait for the next summer holidays

School started the first Monday of September here. I imagine it's hard for you, as you both work.

that is why my parents help is precious, when we can't they are always available to pick them at school.

@nela13 Grandparents play an important role in kids education. I am glad that in Europe this is still the case.

I’m certain your year will be a busy one. You are so lucky to have such helpful parents. I do hope your daughter can find some time for music lessons. My grandkids are extremely busy with school, but still find the time for sports, religious school, and other activities.

I think it is more stressful while we don't get used to their schedules. My kids also have religious lessons but only once a week so it will be easy to schedule.

In some countries, school starts at the beginning of September but here it always starts in the middle of the month.

Parents sometimes become little more than taxi drivers once the kids start school.
