[quote=Anonymous]OP here, It's not that spouse doesn't see potential, spouse is unwilling to make career comprises to support johnny. We have never pushed sport on kid. "johnny" went to a camp recently runs by a top university, we were approached by the director of sport operations and some other guy, we were told that "johnny showed a lot of potential, "if he keeps the pace we love for johnny to see us in his future". That didn't faze spouse much. Spouse sees our kid's future as a business professional, a lawyer or something of that sort. We are here now, but spouses business takes us all over the world. There is no way little johnny would be able to follow his sport at it's current level. I don't want to tell johnny because we had to drag you all over you couldn't follow your dreams. Johnny has a bright future either way, but should we just forgo this pursuit because there just .000000001% of johnny becoming successful at it. Spouse would be thrilled if johnny follow in the family business and would do anything to assure his success, but act handicap when johnny wants support for sports. When I see my kid enthusiasm, skill, love for the sports, I hate to just look the other way because there's a very low probability of success. FWIW, I am not a sport person at all, but based on my communications with my kid, I feel a very strong instinct to lookout for him, my other kid is in support of us too. What would be your approach, give up or pursue with consequences?[/quote]
