[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting this in sports forum because I think it belongs here. My kids are as competitive as they come, doing travel sports, and generally very involved in their sports. So I get it. But I am finding more and more that parents have their kids skip out on birthday parties for local tournaments. Or missing the slumber party portion because they want their kids to be ready to compete the next day. They respond immediately to an invitation before the kids are even home from school, so the parents are making the choices. To what end? These are simply local tournaments, and there will be another one next weekend. How sad that these competitions trump absolutely everything. [/quote] I am VERY happy to find any excuse to avoid having to deal with an exhausted child after a sleepover. Sports provide a great excuse.[/quote]
