 It can be tough balancing everything. You need to figure out what's important and what isn't. My daughter missed her high school graduation for a rodeo. Her choice. All the kids at school were mad, told her it would be the biggest mistake of her life blah blah blah. She has never regretted the choice. For the last 3 years her college tuition has been about $750 a semester with the rodeo scholarships she was given. She did by far better in that area than any of the HS athletes. Biggest thing is a routine. Get in a routine and stick with it. Kids are young for a very short time and it flies by in the blink of an eye. If your house is a mess for a few years, oh well. You can clean when life slows down. These will be the best years of your life and theirs so don't sweat the small stuff.
