What sport would you want your son/daughter to play?

I'm the PP who said she hates sports and would love it if DC does not do any.

I was not joking. The question asked how I would like it to be, so I answered.

As for team-playing skills, I don't think sports is the one and all to learn those. Neither DH nor I grew up doing team sports and we do pretty well in that area in our jobs and at home.

We love biking and hope to share that with DD once the time comes. As for any other sports, we neither practice nor watch (except for the Olympics). That saves up a ton of time to read, watch films, go to museums and other events, and enjoy our time together.

I know some parents who have their kids signed up for two or more sports and confess to hating the fact that their weekends are pretty much tied up with practice and games. I don't want that for our family.

But I guess if DD ends up falling in love with a sport, God help me, I'll be sitting there on the bleachers or on one of those god-awful lawn chairs watching her. Hope I can squeeze in some reading during that.

I really don't think you have anything to worry about.
