we live in a very small country town. The nearest school is about 15 miles north of us. I work about 45 miles south of us. Because of our location and the amount of drive time between the places, we cant enroll our boys in any sports or activities. There would be no way to get home in time to get them to games or practice. I dont get home till almost 6:30. They have to stay with a neighbor till me or my husband get home. He is a truck driver so we never know his schedule day to day. Obviously there are not sports or activities besides church in our town that they can be in. None of their school friends live in our town, and we dont even know any of their parents anyways, so having someone else take them and pick them up for games, practice, etc. isnt even an option. It is hard to explain all this to two boys. How do we make them understand that it just isnt possible for my husband and I to work and get them involved in sports also right now?
