[quote=Anonymous]Don't do something that you personally hate just for the kid's sake.  They will sense your resentment and it is unsustainable for the long term.
We were out the door every Saturday morning for Suzuki violin while our neighbors ran off to soccer.  I loved the music and listening to my kids play music and I loved the diverse group of parents who had kids doing music.  Former college athletes who were competitive about little kids sports?  Not so much.  These were not people I would have befriended under other circumstances nor were they the people I could picture surrounding myself with as a community as I raised my children.  Think about what you truly enjoyed most when you were young -- I loved scouts and loved volunteering with scouts as an adult.  My kids joke that I loved Girl Scouts more than they did!  It might be true!  We all loved swim team.  We loved youth orchestra.  But don't drag yourself through something just because everyone else is doing it.  Find something that nourishes your soul and brings you into contact with activities and people that you love.  [/quote]
