I have one daughter. And I do less heavy lifting than my ex because I can rarely get to weekday games. But I do the weekend stuff and we switch off when it comes to travel tournaments. She's doing North Carolina. I'll probably do Massachusetts, etc. Her other daughter is not interested in sports. If she were, I couldn't imagine how it would work. I can't imagine how you do it with three kids!

My oldest played baseball for a while, but then ended when the next child started to have practices. I work 50 miles from home and take a train every day, so you can imagine my commute. My wife works twelve-hour shifts on an odd schedule. Thank God my oldest drives now. Also, HopSkipDrive.
