[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that it is unlikely that a kid who isn't asking to do those kinds of activities now will suddenly discover them as an adult.

You need to do what you need to do to keep a happy home, but at some point he will stop growing and with no habit of being active, a "homebody" can quickly become a lonely 20-something with a weight problem.

I'm not saying he necessarily will, just that maybe if the three of you can dredge up an interest in anything active at all, or if he has a vague interest in something, it really might be beneficial to try to pursue it.[/quote]

Total BS. I grew up in a family that never played any sports and never did any hikes. My parents are still couch potatoes.

I am 40 now and every single year I am trying to learn something new. I got a diving license when I was 20 and still dive every year. I ran my first race at 30 and keep running now. I learned to swim at the age of 25 (when I saw the ocean for the first time). I tried yoga and pilates for the fist time at the age of 35 and loved it so much! I accidentally walked into the kickboxing class last January and now doing it once a week. I tried for the first time TRX and using it once or twice a week now. I still have a tennis on my bucket list (I wait until retirement).

I never had a weight problem. Was 105 lb at 5'2 prior to having kids and 115-120lb now. [/quote]
