[quote=Anonymous]DD has swum for years. Starting HS next year at a quite competitive level.  I'm looking at four more years of setting my alarm before 5:00 several times a week to support her. She's presently highly motivated and aiming for national level competition (she recently qualified for junior nationals after years of being good but not outstanding).  This is all great. I was a swimmer and I know there's value in the commitment, hard work, discipline.  But I am feeling burned out. And I don't even do the swimming!  I'm worrying about how I will get her from HS to afternoon practice next year, which will squeeze my already tight work schedule (I work part-time and from home often already).

I'm not really considering telling her she can't pursue her dreams.  Anyone BTDT who can tell me she'll eventually find a ride with HS drivers to practice and that it's all worth it (not because she's going to make the Olympics, but because she loves it and it keeps her out of trouble.) [/quote]
