[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents refused activities as they were too selfish to pay for them, despite having the money or taking us regularly. I would have loved to take classes in a few of my interests. [/quote] I grew up without enough money to do activities. I had a childhood where I spent a lot of time wandering the woods, catching bugs in jars, etc., and I grew up not ever having tried to learn an instrument or played on a sports team or been in a play. I give my kid those opportunities now (when she wants them), because I feel like I missed out on them when I was a kid. There's plus and minuses to any set of choices.[/quote] +1. My parents couldn’t afford any activities. I babysat my younger siblings. Sure, I played too with the neighborhood kids but it’s way overrated. My kid is having so much more of an enriching childhood and trying so many new things and experiences. He plays at home too. It doesn’t have to be one or the other[/quote]
