[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are living vicariously through he kid [/quote] Why do people say dumb sh— like this? My DH did play a sport in college. I didn’t and didn’t want to. Lots of parents let their kids lead what they want to do and at what level. My DC found their sport in roughly 6th grade. Up to that we were very casual About sports. DC was good and wanted to get better and there are very few rec opportunities in the sport. We moved to travel. Then DC decided they wanted to pursue college. And has been successful in that. So your sweeping generalizations are wrong on every count, for us personally and for many. [/quote] Agree. We played sports in college and introduced our kids to these sports at a young age, but they ended up liking and focusing on other sports entirely. Never in a million years did I think I'd end up a football mom for one of my kids, for example. Strong-willed kids like mine find their path and we support them. [/quote]
