[quote=Anonymous]11:18 -- does your child like scouts or does s/he moan and complain about every meeting/event? Just wondering how much you have to push your child vs. the child willingly going along with something you selected? I only ask b/c I'm feeling tired today -- tired of trying to encourage, nudge, advise and otherwise "push" my kids into being engaged outside of the house. If they had their choice, it seems they would do school, minecraft and pokemon. Sometimes the lack of joy/appreciation for all the things I put effort into is discouraging. (by effort, I mean paying for the costs of classes/teams/shoes/etc., driving them to the events, volunteering to help with or lead activities, etc., etc.). Do you ever get to the point where the benefits just don't come close to the costs?[/quote]
