[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, but that means that you must be obsessed with snobbery.  If I ask about which soccer camp more kids in my son's school attend, I would be viewed simply as being a responsible parent trying to keep him in touch with classmates.  If I ask about an activity that some parents would not want their children to engage in, I must be obsessed.  That's just the way it is on this board.[/quote]

I did not write the obsessed comment (criticism).  But I would make a rather large distinction between soccer, which under most circumstances is an activity originally of interest to the child (although I know of many parents who feel the need for their kid to continue long after their interest has waned) and cotillion, which is of no interest to any kid.  The only reason kids want to go is because their friends go, and the only reason their friends go is because their parents signed them up.  If you went to Capital Cotillion one night and announced that from then on, the kids could wear whatever they wanted and they no longer had to dance, you would hear a bunch of hooping and hollering, I can tell you.  Nine year old kids do not like to, do not need to, should not be dancing with partners like grown ups.[/quote]
