[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me so grateful that senior DS has never played a sport of any kind.

I get that the benefits of team sports and actually don't disagree at all.  But I'm not gonna lie, it would suck to see my teen for all 20 minutes a day.

(his extracurricular that he leveraged right into ED1 is independently scheduled by him)[/quote]

What do you and your teen do together for more than 20 min and how long?[/quote]

Pretty much daily: 
Eat dinner most nights of the week, go out to dinner occasionally, prepare/clean up (1 hr).  I sit and read while DS plays his instrument in the same room.  Or we read in the same room (1/2 hr). Walk the dogs together (10 mins).

One of the weekend days we hang together as a family (daylight only)  Hike.  Go on random day trips to Shenandoah, Richmond, Baltimore.  Go to vintage furniture stores / music stores / a DC museum / a random traveling exhibit.  Union market.  Yard work!  Occasionally a concert.

He goes out with friends on weekend nights and works a couple of nights a week. [/quote]
