[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tennis and horse riding are both lifelong sports/activities. Maybe view it as an investment in his long-term interests. In other words, you are paying money now to help him to develop skills/cultivate a passion that will benefit him as an adult.

They do them for fun and exercise and stress relief.[/quote]
