[quote=Anonymous]I had a high performing athlete sibling when I was a kid (took some time off from school/ life to see if he could go pro- he didn’t make it). I think my parents did a great job. Even when there were big competitions for my brother, rarely did I get drug along (unless my own schedule was free and I wanted to go). . Sometimes one parent would go, but sometimes if I had a minor thing (school play, my own tiny sports thing) both would come to my thing instead. They *never* made me think my activities were any less important. I think I would have been resentful if our whole family schedule revolved around his sport, but in reality it was just one more thing on our family’s schedule. Once my brother had a driver’s license he drive himself hours away on his own (it was a specialized individual sport (golf) - not a team thing with a bus). [/quote]
