I am so sorry to hear that, Peg. But I agree, it's too insane a scheduling conflict. You would likely go nuts from doing all that driving, and somewhere down the line, somebody would resent it.
I hate the thought of you having to give up karate, though. You sound so vibrant when you talk about it, and I loved reading your posts about your lessons.
Will you be able to talk with the sensei about this? I know the schedule is what it is, but maybe he or she can help you plan for a time when you would be able to return to classes.
That said, I think you made a good choice. Keeping the family dinner is worth it. I grew up in a family that sat around the dinner table, and I do appreciate the subtle value of it as well as the obvious ones. That sense of family is important to have.
