[quote=Anonymous] OP, It seems incredible to me that you haven't yet figured out that: 1. Not everything has to be a competition or stratospheric level. We can all enjoy certain activities as hobbies. 2. Parents need to be reconciled to the fact that they're going to pay for certain things for their kids and unless you count the pleasure it gives them, it will be money down the drain, not an investment. The rich parents, that is. The rest of us can't afford that kind of lifestyle, but since you're paying for horse-riding and tennis I'm putting you arbitrarily into the rich (and whiny) category :-) 3. If your kid doesn't enjoy it, pull the plug and find something he does enjoy. Rock-climbing? Archery? Pottery? Robotics League? Writing club? Video games (it builds skills for surgery, you know :-) ) ? Think outside the box a little. Make him a list and tell him he has to pick one. [/quote]
