[quote=Anonymous][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. I would keep paying (so long as you can reasonably afford it) under this mindset.[/quote] EXACTLY!!! I'd be so much happier with a kid choosing lifelong pursuits than, say, shelling out $1600/season for ICE HOCKEY. [/quote] Ice hockey is a lifelong pursuit (or at least for a good long while). There are plenty of opportunities for people well into early middle age. [/quote] Perhaps. But given the choice I'd rather hang out at the club after tennis or golf than hanging around an ice rink at 10 pm because you can't get ice time. Plus being a hockey parent absolutely sucks. It's such a waste of money and time I can't justify it [/quote]
