Yes, busier. WAY busier. And I don't get to see all of my son's recitals (live, that is, I sit with him and let him tell me all about it as I watch the DVDs). So when there's a conflict, DW goes with DS (she never played sports but is a musician and danced, he is playing 3 instruments and takes 4 styles of dance) and I go with DD (I played a lot of baseball and other sports and my musical talent is limited to air kazoo). So we pump out a lot of money on dance costumes, instruments, music and dance lessons, premier tickets, and the whole TB expense list. But it works. When my boy does go to a tournament, he has a ball. There's nothing better for me that watching the girls yuk it up between games. Remember the golden rules: 1, the only thing you say after the game is "that was fun watching you play," and 2, the girls need to feel good to play good. The latter is especially important so you accommodate her and get her up earlier so she can braid her hair and tie all the bows and stuff like that.
Good luck and hold on tight.
