Parents Kids at different gyms

[RTT2]

DD and DS go to different gyms, about half an hour apart. DS just joined the team over the summer, so having two in gymnastics is new for me. I feel like I used to be really good at keeping track of everything, but lately I can't keep track of who we have already paid meet fees for, who we owe meet fees for, did we order warm ups for both, etc., not to mention the days when both have to be at practice at 4pm in different towns on the same day. I put together a spreadsheet to keep track of both of their meets (14 total so far with the possibility that DS's gym may add more!) If you have multiple kids in gym (even if they are at the same gym), how do you stay sane??

I remind me self that if they all did different sports it would be the same or possibly worse (since with other sports they might have different schedules at different times of the year). I put everything on my Google calendar. That helps too.

I’ve had two in the same gym, two in different gyms, two in different gyms with one in multiple gyms, and now one in gym and one in dance. I think I actually went crazy years ago. Ha!

I have 4 on team across 3 different levels. Google calendar and checklists are the only things saving my last threads of sanity

This reminds me of why I have 2 onlies ( they are 12 yrs apart)

Currently both of my kids are at the same gym, but I've had them at different gyms in the past. I just have everything on my phone calendar, including practices, meets, and when fees are due for whom.
